Four men held in Junaid Khan's murder

India Blooms News Service | | 28 Jun 2017, 11:33 pm
New Delhi, June 28 (IBNS): Four men, including a Delhi government employee, were arrested for allegedly hacking a teen to death inside a moving train last week after accusing him and his family of carrying beef, media reports said.

The deceased, who hails from Ballabgarh, Haryana, has been identified as Junaid, 19, who was travelling home with his brothers Haseem, Moeen and Mohsin after shopping for the upcoming Eid at Delhi's Jama Masjid.

According to a Times of India report, the group passed several communal abuses and humiliated the brothers, asking them to get out of the train.

However, contrary to the reports suggesting it as a communal clash, Haryana DGP B S Sandhu said it was a clash between two groups, in which the teenager died.

"This was a clash between two groups which resulted in the death of one person. We have already arrested one of the accused. Police teams are investigating and others too will be arrested," he was quoted as saying by the daily.

Explaining their plight, one of the victims had said, "They started calling us names and said we were unpatriotic and anti-nationals and then started hitting us. They were pointing at a packet which had food and saying that we should not be allowed to sit since we were carrying beef."

He added that the incident took place in front of a GRP personnel, who stood as a mere spectator.

"To save ourselves, we called the police and the emergency response number but there was no response," the victim had added.

Following the incident, the victims were rushed to a nearby hospital, where Junaid was declared brought dead.

Another victim, who sustained stab injuries, is said to be in a critical state and fighting for his life in AIIMS Trauma Centre.
