However, Jiban had visited his home as it was the birthday of his elder son. And when he was asked to bring a new dress for the birthday he got infuriated and beat his son. As his wife and mother intervened he allegedly beat them with an iron rod.
Hearing his wife’s scream, the fellow villagers rushed and tried to prevent him. Yet, he rebuked them using filthy language. Soon the villagers reacted by thrashing him heavily.
