A Muslim boy was allegedly beaten up by the family member and relatives of a tribal girl with whom he was supposedly in a relationship. The boy hadn't returned home late on Thursday, when his elder brother received a call informing of his brother being bashed up in the nearby village. The father and brother of the victim reached the location to find the victim in a pool of blood along with his damaged bike. HE was shifted to a hospital and the Police was called for. After being shifted to the Mahavir Hospital in Surat, the boy succumbed to his injuries. Four accused have been rounded up but are yet to be arrested.
