27-year-old man beaten to death after party brawl in Delhi: Police

New Delhi, Sep 6 (PTI) A 27-year-old man died after he was allegedly beaten up by his friends following a quarrel during a party at Delhi's Mangolpuri, police said on Saturday.

A PCR call regarding the incident was received at the Burari police station around 1 pm. The caller alleged that his brother, Habib Rehman, a resident of Burari's Sant Nagar, was assaulted by his friends and handed over to him in an unconscious condition. He was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.

During a preliminary enquiry, police found that Rehman was called on Friday night by his friend, Rinka Dedha, a resident of Ghazipur, for a party at a restaurant in Gujranwala town. Rinka Dedha was joined by his cousin, Harsh Dedha, and later, by friends Aman and Vicky. Another acquaintance, Anil from Burari, also joined the group, police said.

From there, the group went to a restaurant at Mangolpuri under the South Rohini police station limits and consumed alcohol. A quarrel broke out during which Rehman allegedly hit Rinka Dedha on the head with a beer bottle. In retaliation, Rinka Dedha and Harsh Dedha allegedly thrashed him and threatened to shoot him, a senior police officer said.

They then took the victim to Rinka Dedha's dairy farm in east Delhi's Ghazipur, where he was beaten up with sticks and rods. Police said the accused had planned to dump the victim in the Yamuna river but were stopped by Vicky, Aman and Anil, who instead brought him back to Burari and handed him to his brother around 5:15 am on Saturday.

Police said since the incident started in Mangolpuri, the case has been transferred to the South Rohini police station for further investigation. PTI SSJ RC
