Gopalganj: After battling for life for 28 days, a dalit Ramadhar Ram (65) died at Gorakhpur Hospital on Friday. Ram, a native of village Dharmpur under Gopalpur police station in Gopalganj district, was called by a co-villager Chandan Rai on October 7. Ram did not hear Rai’s call and moved from there. Incensed over it, Rai assaulted him mercilessly to establish his supremacy. An injured Ram was first admitted to Kuchaikot hospital where the attending doctors referred him to Gorakhpur Hospital for treatment. Though the doctors tried to save him, Ram died at Hospital on Friday. As the news of Ram’s death reached his village, the accused fled from there. The local police have lodged a complaint of murder.
