The Story in Brief
A 27-year-old man, Jamal Khan, was abducted at gunpoint near Rajgarh-Khelana border in Jaisalmer district on Thursday evening, police said. The attackers broke his hands and legs and cut off his nose with a sharp weapon before fleeing when villagers chased them. Khan was returning home with three children in a camper when two vehicles forced him to stop.
Police have registered a case against six to seven people from Khan's own village, Rajgarh. An old rivalry is suspected as the motive. Khan has been referred to Jodhpur hospital after initial treatment. Police are conducting raids to arrest the accused.
The Indian Opinion
This is not just another crime story to scroll past. The narrative can easily become communal if the accused belong to a different faith, or be dismissed as local thuggery. But the police have named an old rivalry as the motive, we must wait for the investigation to confirm that, not jump to stereotypes. The test will be how many accused are arrested and whether the rivalry explanation holds up with evidence.
