Three arrested rapists Shahid Saiyad, Tarik Saiyad and Abu Bakar were beaten up by the angry common public in a civil hospital in Surat today. The people of Surat grabbed a chance to express their anger when the rapists were taken to the hospital for medical examination.

Crowds attacked two of the three rapists when they were on way to X ray room. Around 200 ladies gathered with sticks in hands managed a chance to attack one of the rapists by repeatedly kicking and punching him on floor. People also damaged x-ray room’s windows expressing their anger.

Two policemen, one in civil dress and one in uniform had to show their service revolvers to control the angry mob. Policemen tried to ward off the attackers, and whisked away the accused men to the emergency room where first aid was administered to them.

The three Muslim youths had kidnapped, gang raped and filmed a 17-year-old girl, the niece of a noted psychologist/poet in a car as she was on way to a tuition class on Friday. Medical examination confirmed that the girl was raped.

Two of the rapists are sons of Police persons. One rapist Tarik failed in three subjects in 12th standard recently. Another one Police Inspector Nizamuddin Saiyad’s son Shahid has mobile phone shop ‘M.R.Electronics’ in Janta market. Shahid’s elder brother Nadir Saiyad is policeman in Godhra. His uncle JG Saiyad is Police Inspector in Banaskantha. His grand father Gulam Rasul is retired constable. Rapist Abu Bakar is married and father of two children. He owns ‘M for Mobile’ shop in Janta market. Both Abu Bakar and Shahid became friend due to their business in same market.

Meanwhile, Bajrang Dal’s Surat unit staged protest in front of Surat Police Commissioner’s office today.
