Six people have been arrested in connection with the senseless killing of a 14-year old boy by a group of drunken louts for refusing to fetch a pack of gaspers in Wazirpur area of North-West Delhi. The accused have been identified as Ajay, alias Devender (25), Manish, alias Mogli (23), Vinay Kumar (22), Sachin Kumar Raja (29), Subhash (32) and Dheeraj, alias Gabbar (19).
The incident took place on Wednesday night when Ranjan Kumar with his friends Vijay Kumar and Vinay Thapa, were passing through Mahila Park at K Block, JJ Colony in Wazirpur around 9.30 pm. They saw three men sitting in the park downing hooch. One of them, identified as Ajay, asked the trio to fetch them a pack of smokes.
On being refused, Ajay called the trio names and with his cohorts started raining blows on the three boys. When the trio tried slinking away, the assailants called three more cronies to join in the free-for-all. “Manish, alias Mogli, attacked Ranjan with a knife while the other assailants thrashed his buddies,” said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (North-West) Rishi Pal. The injured were rushed to Sunder lal Jain Hospital where Ranjan succumbed to his injuries.
