Lohta Police Register FIR After Bhitari Villager Alleges Hostage Beating

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.

Sunday’s incident entered Monday’s crime digest as a Lohta case. Treating the day stamp as Sunday 13 September matches the locked reporting window. Place stamp is Bhitari village. Complainant stamp is Dinesh Patel. Process stamp is FIR plus ongoing probe under SHO Abhijit Singh.

Cross-station naming matters for readers who track Manduadih and Lohta as separate maps. Shivbalak Patel alias Koli is locked to Chandpur in the Manduadih PS area. Ashok Patel and his son are locked to Bhitari. Nagendra Patel is named without a conflicting village stamp in the available facts. This desk will not invent ages, weapon counts or a precise courtyard layout.

Hostage-and-beating allegations are among the heavier complaint categories a rural police station takes. Death threats escalate the alleged intent. None of that language becomes a conviction in a first-day crime brief. 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. That verification is investigation work, not copy colour.

SHO Abhijit Singh’s public confirmation — FIR registered, investigation continuing — is the administrative close for this copy. No arrest list was locked in the available facts; inventing one would be a desk error. 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. Hold the allegation frame until the probe moves.
