A 28-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death in outer Delhi’s Ranhola when he went to help his friend settle a fight with another man.
The accused has been arrested.
The incident happened when Krishna Tyagi went along with his friend Jitendra and two others to the office of one Netram.
Tyagi was allegedly taken to the terrace of the building and beaten till he fell unconscious.
Dispute over money
He was then taken to Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital where he was declared brought dead.
According to the police, Jitendra and Netram had been in a dispute over money for a while and the two came face-to-face twice in the last week.
It was alleged that Netram’s side also fired shots outside Jitendra’s house.
“Netram and his people went to Jitendra’s house on June 15 and June 17 and attacked them. The police were called but no action was taken,” said Ajay, Tyagi’s brother-in-law, who works with Jitendra.
The police registered a case under Section 302 (punishment for murder) on Friday and arrested Netram on Saturday.
