SASARAM: A 22-year-old man committed suicide after he was made to spit and lick by an otherwise ‘kangaroo court’ for allegedly having an affair with a girl in Kaimur district late Sunday night. His body was found hanging in his bedroom on Monday morning. The incident took place under Chainpur police station area.
SHO Uday Bhanu Singh said a named FIR against five persons has been lodged on the written statement of Rajesh Gupta, the father of the deceased.

According to the FIR, Shiv Shankar Gupta was caught by the family members of the girl at her residence on December 24 night. He was badly assaulted and accused of sexually harassing her. After getting information, the police reached the spot and freed the man from the clutches of the girl’s family members. Treating the mater as a love affair, the police suggested the family members to solve the matter amicably.
“The girl’s family and a group of locals assembled in the village on December 26 and the man was summoned. In the meeting, he was assaulted again. Later, the ‘panchayat’ ordered him to spit on the ground and lick it. When the man and his father’s requests failed to dissuade the ‘panchayat’ from asking him for that, Shiv had to spit and lick it publicly,” SHO Singh said.
The FIR further stated that Shiv could not digest the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging from the ceiling fan of his room on Sunday night. “On Monday, his younger brother Rajan Gupta found his body hanging from the fan. He was brought to a local nursing home, where he was declared brought dead,” the SHO said.
“Stern action would be taken against the culprit who forced the man to commit suicide,” the SHO added.
The body was handed over to the family members after postmortem at Bhabhua Sadar hospital on Monday.
