New Delhi. A very horrifying and heart-wrenching incident has come to light from Tilak Nagar, western area of the country’s capital Delhi. In childhood, the common squabbles between children while playing cricket in the streets turned into a bloody game here. A teenager of just 15 years was beaten so brutally by three other minor boys that his neck was broken and he died on the spot. After this massacre, while there is huge tension in the entire area, the family members of the deceased have made very serious allegations against the Delhi Police of assaulting them and tearing their clothes instead of providing justice.
Death controversy started from cricket field
According to senior police officials, this entire incident took place on Monday evening. Children were playing cricket in a local park in Tilak Nagar. Meanwhile, 15 year old Nishant had a dispute with a 12 year old boy regarding the match. The argument that started with talk soon turned into a scuffle. After the fight, the 12-year-old boy went home angrily and told the whole story to his two elder cousins (aged 13 and 17). After this, the three brothers set out to find Nishant in search of revenge.
He broke his neck after being surrounded and died in the hospital.
At around 7:22 pm on Monday evening, these three boys found Nishant alone in the area and surrounded him. After this, all three together attacked him fatally. According to the deceased’s uncle Rinku and brother, the accused strangulated Nishant and punched him hard on his face and head. In this barbaric attack, Nishant’s neck was broken and he fell unconscious there. The family and local people hurriedly took him to Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital, but by then it was too late. Doctors declared him dead. Nishant’s father runs a tea shop in the area and apart from his wife, there are three sons in the family.
‘Instead of taking action against the killers, the police beat us’
Mother Jyoti, distraught over the death of her son, has raised serious questions on the system and the working style of the police. Crying, he told that children fight, but he killed his son. The family members allege that when they reached Tilak Nagar police station with the complaint, the police did not listen to them. The deceased’s aunt Rachna alleged that the police instead detained her own relatives, beat her brother and even tore the women’s clothes. The family says that they have not even been given a copy of the FIR and the police are continuously harassing them.
