In one of the worst affected areas in Northeast Delhi, Shiv Vihar is the epicentre of violence in the locality where petrol bombs and stones were hurled during the clashes between the two groups.
At least two fresh incidents were reported from Shiv Vihar. Early on Friday morning Ayub Khan, a scrap dealer, died at GTB Hospital after being beaten by a group of people in Shiv Vihar. A homeless man, Khan lived with his son, Salman, in Budh Vihar and worked as a scrap dealer.
In another incident, two people were beaten by another group in the area. The victims, Nizamuddin and Riazuddin, were also brought to the GTB hospital with injuries. Their condition was stated to be stable.
Deputy commissioner of police, MS Randhawa said they are verifying the incident.
Salman said,“They beat my father with rods. Some locals spotted him and raised an alarm. He suffered injuries on his head and back. He managed to reach me with the help of locals and I took him to a private hospital. However, he had to be shifted to GTB because I did not have enough money for his treatment.”
Piles of charred vehicles were still lying around in the area even as roads remained littered with shattered glass bottles, bricks and stones till Friday evening.
