Police say four children were tied to a pillar and beaten with sticks in Dhanga village of Darbhanga district on August 25, with PAX president Sanjay Yadav implicated.
Darbhanga district’s Jamalpur police station area witnessed a disturbing incident on August 25 when four children were allegedly bound to a concrete pillar in the village of Dhanga and beaten with lathis. Local residents reported the assault after hearing the children’s cries and seeing the pillar covered with blood.
Investigators have named Sanjay Yadav, president of the regional PAX organization, as the primary suspect. Video footage and photographs released on social media show the children restrained and subjected to repeated blows, prompting widespread outrage.
The police have opened a formal inquiry, registering a criminal case under sections dealing with child cruelty and assault. Officials said they are collecting forensic evidence, interviewing witnesses, and will summon Yadav for questioning.
