A 48-year-old property dealer was beaten to death in Delhi’s Kalkaji area, while his brother sustained serious injuries during the alleged assault, police said on Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Manjeet Singh, alias Bunty. His brother, Dilbag Singh, was admitted to a hospital for treatment and is undergoing care for injuries sustained in the incident.
According to officials, the victim and the accused were residents of L-8, Kalkaji. Police reached the spot after receiving information about a scuffle and found that the injured persons had been taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre.
“During enquiry, it was revealed that an argument took place outside the building, following which an exchange of words and subsequent scuffle occurred. Manjeet @ Bunty and his brother Dilbag Singh allegedly sustained injuries during the scuffle. Manjeet was taken to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where he was declared dead,” police said.
Multiple police teams have been formed to examine CCTV footage and apprehend those allegedly involved in the incident.
Manjeet’s sister alleged that he was brutally assaulted and that the attackers continued beating him until he died. She specifically named a woman, Rajji Chaudhary, and alleged that she was accompanied by her husband, sons and daughter during the assault.
“Rajji Chaudhary was present with her husband, sons, and daughter. They were all involved, and they assaulted him together,” she alleged, claiming that Manjeet was struck on the head and repeatedly kicked and punched after he fell.
She further alleged that the family members attacked Dilbag when he tried to intervene, claiming that he suffered a leg fracture and serious head injuries.
According to the sister, Rajji Chaudhary, her husband and four other men were allegedly involved in the assault. She demanded strict action against all those responsible.
Dilbag Singh told IANS that he received a call about the assault at around 11:15 p.m. and immediately travelled to Kalkaji with his sister.
“The caller said that Bunty got into a fight in Kalkaji and multiple people — both men and women — were beating him up. The people on the phone said they were not being allowed to intervene because the attackers were many, so they asked us to come immediately,” he said.
Dilbag said he found his brother lying on the road outside a house in L-Block.
“When we arrived, I saw my brother lying on the road right outside their house in L-Block. His shirt buttons were torn, and he had already died on the spot,” he said.
He alleged that after he confronted the women present at the spot, he too was attacked and sustained injuries to his head and face, besides suffering a leg fracture. He also said his nose was injured and continued to bleed.
Police said the exact circumstances leading to the incident, along with the identities and individual roles of all those involved, are being investigated. Further details are awaited.
