Baragaon police have registered an FIR naming Utkarsh Singh and Shivam Singh of Aharak Pahi, along with unknown associates, after a Sunday-afternoon assault and loot at a tea stall in Kazisaray under the Harhua area. Stall operator Shashank Dwivedi alleged that worker Ravi Gupta was beaten, the stall was vandalised, about ₹1,900 was taken, and the attackers brandished weapons while demanding rangdari — extortion — as they left. SHO Praveen Kumar Singh confirmed the FIR.

All acts in this file are allegations on a police complaint until a court says otherwise. Named accused Utkarsh Singh and Shivam Singh, both linked in the complaint to Aharak Pahi, face the Baragaon case with unnamed companions. The money figure of about ₹1,900 is the complainant’s stated loot. Weapons shown and an extortion demand are part of the same alleged leaving scene, not separate inventions of this desk.

Kazisaray’s tea-stall geography is roadside and local. A Sunday afternoon attack on a worker, followed by vandalism and a cash lift, turns a small food point into a crime scene for the afternoon. Baragaon’s FIR is the formal answer. This copy will not invent injury medicals, CCTV grabs or chase paths the locked brief does not carry.

SHO Praveen Kumar Singh’s confirmation locks the registration itself. Named-plus-unknown drafting is standard when a complaint identifies some faces and leaves others open. Investigation will test identities, roles and the extortion claim. Readers should hold the FIR as the start of process, not as proof of guilt.

Operator and worker are distinct in the complaint: Dwivedi runs the stall; Gupta is the worker alleged to have been assaulted. Collapsing them into one victim name would blur the FIR’s own structure. Vandalism of the stall sits beside the assault and the cash loss as a property limb of the same alleged episode.

Extortion language — rangdari demanded while leaving — raises the complaint above a simple thrashing-and-snatch. Whether that demand holds as a charge will be tested in investigation. At FIR stage it is what the operator put on paper alongside the ₹1,900 loot and the weapon display allegation.

Aharak Pahi as the named youths’ place stamp gives Baragaon a concrete lead geography outside the immediate Kazisaray roadside. Unknown associates keep the FIR open for later identification. Neither detail authorises this desk to add ages, vehicle numbers or prior cases the locked facts omit.

Crime reporting at FIR stage stays lean. Beatings, weapons, rangdari demands and a ₹1,900 loot are what the complaint puts on paper. Baragaon police own the probe. No conviction language belongs here.

For Kazisaray’s evening trade, the stamp is a named FIR after a Sunday tea-stall assault and cash theft allegation. For Baragaon, it is SHO Singh’s registered case against two named youths of Aharak Pahi and unknown others. Until arrests or chargesheets advance the file, those are the locked police facts.
