After an ordeal of three days, 17-year-old Yogesh Jatav succumbed to his injuries. Jatav, a Hindu minor from the Dalit community, had accidentally brushed a Muslim woman while riding on his bike on September 15 in Alwar, Rajasthan. As per reports, he was trying to evade a pothole and inadvertently hit a Muslim woman on his way. There have been no reports of the woman being injured in the incident. But within minutes, an enraged mob appeared at the spot and charged at the boy with sticks and iron rods.
He was mercilessly beaten by the mob and had blood gushing out of his ears by the time help arrived. Yogesh was rushed to a nearby hospital; he went into a coma on the day of the attack itself. He was later shifted to a Jaipur-based SMS hospital, but passed away on the 18th. His body was handed over to his family for the last rites the following day, after completing the post-mortem formalities.
