Boyââ¬â¢s eye gouged out as parents refuse to vote
Patna - A 10-year-old boyââ¬â¢s eye was gouged out in a Bihar village as a punishment for his parentsââ¬â¢ refusal to vote for a particular candidate in the panchayat (village council) elections.
The victim, Ajit Kumar of Dhabouli village in Biharââ¬â¢s Begusarai district, is now undergoing treatment at a government hospital.
According to sources, his eye was gouged out with a pointed grass-cutting tool Monday while he was playing in the fields.
His father Suresh Rai, a landless labourer, alleged that four people of his village - Jeeran Rai, Shambhoo, Sheoji and his wife - overpowered and gouged his sonââ¬â¢s eye to punish them for not voting for their candidate in the panchayat elections held in June.
ââ¬ËI accuse myself for having refused to vote for their candidate because it cost me my sonââ¬â¢s eye,ââ¬â¢ said Jago Devi, his mother.
She said that the persons responsible had threatened to teach them a lesson after the panchayat elections were over. However, no police complaint has been lodged despite the parents repeated attempts.
