His wife was beaten in the same way. Vadgam MLA Jignesh Mevani spoke against the brutal attack and also tweeted the disturbing video. An FIR has been filed and 5 people including the factory owner have been arrested on charges of murder and under the law on atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
The wife escaped from them and went to get help from a nearby village. As per reports, Mukesh and Jaya were picking waste materials outside the factory with magnets and they were misunderstood and the workers accused them of theft.
