Meanwhile, his girlfriend’s family have been accused of murder. A case has been registered against five members of the family.

His cousin Praveen explained: “Ravi had a friendship with a special community girl from a village in Sadar police station area.
“On December 31, 2020, at 8 pm, he went to greet the girl on the bike with New Year’s greetings.
“When he did not return till morning, the family looked for him. He was badly injured on the sure path of Sandal Kalan and Tharaiya.”
During treatment, Ravi and his girlfriend Kulbir were sitting in a field and talking.
Her family attacked him with sticks and metal poles. Seeing this, Kulbir ran away and called Praveen’s brother Balaram, explaining what had happened.
