It had been just 15 days that the juvenile victim had come to the national Capital from Bihar in search of employment. His elder brother, Mushahid who was at the police station, could barely look in the eye and regretted calling him here for the pursuit of a better life. Denying the allegations, Mushahid said that the victim didn't even know the area properly, let alone committing a theft.
According to Mushahid, the elder brother of the deceased, he had been living in the city for the past nine years and working as a plumber.
"In order to help the family, I had called him to Delhi so he could study and learn the work of an electrician. Our family hails from Arariya in Bihar and he had come to Delhi where he had been studying in a Madrasa. He was living in a room with me and three of our uncles," said Mushahid.
He said that he was fond of watching movies and usually used to sneak out of the room with my phone to watch movies.
"He was watching a movie late last night after dinner and it was getting late so I scolded him and told him to sleep as he had to go to work in the morning. When I woke up, I found him missing from the room, I thought that he had gone to the terrace to freshen up. One of the locals informed me about the incident and I rushed to the spot and found him lying dead," said Mushahid.
"The strangest part was no one in the locality heard anything last night. Had my brother gone to steal something or commit a theft, someone would have spotted him, climbing or jumping terraces but no one heard anything. The area is so cramped up that it impossible for a person to enter someone's house without being noticed," said Mushahid.
Locals who knew him in the area said that the boy had come to the city around a fortnight ago and was very shy.
"I know his brother since I have shifted in this house and the deceased had just come to the city in search of work. I have rarely seen him even making an eye contact. He used to stay inside his room and was very shy and silent," said Durga, a local.
This is the fourth incident of lynching reported in the national capital or its vicinity after an e-rickshaw driver was beaten to death in May last year for trying to stop a group of Delhi University students from peeing in public. The same year in July, Junaid Khan was who was returning from Delhi after Eid shopping was lynched onboard a train in Ballabhgarh. This year in July, an alleged thief, who fell from the first floor of a house in Burari, was beaten to death by locals.
