Karthik, who was attacked by his colleagues, in the ICU of a private hospital in the city
******************************************************
Unable to stomach a disabled colleague earning `2,000 more, two contract employees of a private car service firm forcibly inflated him with a high pressure cleaning gun through the anus, leaving the youth battling for his life.
Twenty-year-old physically challenged
Karthik, a water washer boy at the company in Ambattur Industrial Estate
in the city, is still in a critical condition after an open surgery in
which his intestine was removed.
Police said the shocking incident
occurred on Saturday and the mischievous duo, Vijayakumar (22) and
Vinoth Kumar (23), have been arrested on a complaint from Mohan, father
of the victim. They were later remanded in custody.
While Karthik, known to be a hard worker, was earning a monthly salary of Rs 7,000 the other two were paid Rs 5,000 each and this was said to be the cause of heartburn for the later.
Narrating the incident, police said “The two noticed Karthik wearing a torn pant while cleaning a car and forcibly thrust the nozzle of a high-pressure cleaning gun through his anus. His attempts to free himself proved futile. Karthik swooned immediately and the panicky duo informed their boss, Murugan, who rushed him to a nearby clinic.” He was taken to the nearest first aid centre in the Ambattur estate and then to two more hospitals before being shifted to SRMC.
The inflated air perforated the intestine and caused numerous holes. An open surgery was done as the faecal substances have damaged the entire intestine. He is still in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Police have registered a case against the duo under Indian Penal Code 325 (Punishment for voluntarily causing grievous hurt) and IPC 287 (Negligent conduct with respect to machinery).
