New Delhi: A 29-year-old Manipuri man was allegedly beaten to death by a group of five men in a suspected case of road rage in South Delhi’s Kotla Mubarakpur area in the wee hours. All five, accused of assault, have been arrested. “The occupants of the car also abused the auto driver, following which an argument ensued between the trio and them. The argument soon turned ugly following which around five men, all of whom were apparently in an inebriated state, alighted from the car and attacked the trio. While Kazhiihrii and Sharma managed to flee, Shaloni was caught by them,” said a police official. Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) BS Jaiswal said that there was ‘no provocation’ by Shaloni who was living in Munirka in South Delhi and was unemployed.
Three attackers have been identified as Sanjay Basoya (24), Shakti Basoya alias Shanky and Rajiv alias Raju (25) were arrested by the police from Garhi area.
Police have recovered the car used by the attackers. The cops also seized the CCTV footage from the area which helped police to arrest the three attackers.
“We have registered a case under relevant sections of the IPC. He was attacked by 5-6 men,” Jaiswal said.
The Manipuri man’s body has been preserved for postmortem which will be conducted after his family arrives in Delhi. A medical board is likely to be constituted for the autopsy.
