The victim told reporters on Tuesday that he was afraid of the culprits due to their “criminal background” and hence did not report the matter earlier.

An FIR was subsequently registered against three identified persons and as many others, a police official said.

In another incident, a tribal youth was allegedly beaten up by a group of persons here on February 7 over an old enmity, police said in a release.
