Parminder Singh is said to have beaten the 17-year old man, tied him to

The younger man was accused of molesting a baby
in 2014, after allegedly being caught in the act by the baby’s mother.
According to DailyMail, the Police sent him to a juvenile remedial home as he awaited trial.
On
April 19, he was making a court appearance in the Bathinda district of
Punjab, when the baby’s father apparently lured him away by offering him
an out of court settlement.
Swapan Sharma, a senior police
officer of Bathinda said: ‘He (the father) took him near a dried up
canal, beat him up badly and then tied him to a tree and finally hacked
his hands off. Locals alerted police and we rushed to the spot. We
picked him up, his hands, and took him to the hospital.’
He confirmed the man was in a stable condition, but said: ‘There is nothing below the wrists now.’
The police said they were now hunting for the father, a brick kiln labourer, who they will charge with attempted murder.
