Bulandshahr: A 45-year-old man was today beaten to death allegedly by members of a right-wing militant group. The victim was identified as Ghulam Mohammad, a resident of Sohi village under the Pahasu Police Station here. Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Arvind Kumar Mishra said a 19-year-old man named Yusuf of Sohi had allegedly kidnapped an 18-year-old Hindu girl, a resident of village Fazalpur, also in the Pahasu area, on April 27.
