The father of 19-year-old Arunachal Pradesh student Nido Tania, who was beaten up by seven youths last year which ultimately led to his death, Thursday moved the Delhi High Court against the trial court order for dropping charges under the stringent SC/ST Act against the accused.
Justice Manmohan Singh will hear the plea Friday.Nido Tania, who had an altercation with a few shopkeepers in lajpat Nagar Jan 29 last year, was found dead inside his house the next day. His death had evoked angry reactions from people of the northeast living in the national capital who alleged police had failed to protect him.The trial court Sep 25, 2014 had dropped charges under the SC/ST Act against the accused, saying the prosecution failed to establish that it was a case of "racial slur".
