Lohta police have registered an FIR after Dinesh Patel of Bhitari village alleged that he was held hostage and beaten with sticks over an old feud on Sunday, 13 September 2026. The complaint names Ashok Patel and his son, both of Bhitari, Nagendra Patel, and Shivbalak Patel alias Koli of Chandpur under Manduadih police station limits. SHO Abhijit Singh confirmed the FIR on the complaint and said investigation is on. The complainant also claimed a history-sheeter from the Chandpur side was among the attackers.
Allegations of hostage-taking, lathi beating and death threats are treated here as complaint language, not as proven facts. Old enmity is the motive frame Patel put on record. Named accused span two police-station geographies — Bhitari under Lohta and Chandpur under Manduadih — which is why the Chandpur alias and history-sheeter claim sit in the complaint even though Lohta holds the FIR.
Cross-station naming matters for readers who track Manduadih and Lohta as separate maps.
Hostage-and-beating allegations are among the heavier complaint categories a rural police station takes. Death threats escalate the alleged intent. Investigation will test who was present, what force was used, and whether the enmity motive holds.
A history-sheeter claim attached to the Chandpur side is the complainant’s characterisation, not an independent court finding printed here. Lohta will have to verify identities and roles across the Manduadih border if the complaint’s cross-station cast is to hold.
Readers should watch Lohta’s follow-up for custody updates rather than assume named equals arrested.
Village feud cases often begin as one man’s complaint and widen only if witnesses and injury records support the force alleged. Bhitari’s Sunday file is at that opening gate. Stick blows and a hostage claim are serious on paper; proof is the probe’s job.
For Bhitari, the practical stamp is a neighbour’s hostage-beating allegation now on an FIR. For Lohta police, it is a named four-party complaint spanning Bhitari and Chandpur leads.
