A 22-year-old man was allegedly killed by a group of youths after he objected to their "shouting and creating disturbance" during Holi celebrations, police said today.
The victim, identified as Rakesh, objected to around 12 motorcycle-borne youths shouting and creating ruckus near Peerkhana Basti at Jaitu here, a police official said.
A heated argument erupted between the youths and Rakesh, police said.
Flying into a rage, they allegedly attacked Rakesh with sticks and baseball bats. He suffered serious head injuries and was rushed to a hospital where he succumbed to wounds, police said.
A case has been registered against four persons in connection with the incident, they said.
The news comes at a time when students from Delhi’s LSR and JMC Colleges alleged that semen-filled balloons were hurled at them.
According to a report by Scroll, a hostel resident of the college described how she was hit by one of the balloons. “It dried white on my black leggings, and the foreign smell clearly indicated that it wasn’t water,” she wrote. But she did not know what it was until a friend in the hostel told her that “semen-flinging…was currently the Holi fad in the back market area”.
A day later a student of the Jesus and Mary College shared a post on Facebook highlighting a similar ordeal.
Notably the report added that such cases of harassment did not surprise the alumnus of the college, some who told the news website that they had been struck by the balloons, adding that this was the first time it was being reported on social media.
Some people, mostly men, have rubbished the allegations, getting into the scientific composition of semen. One person even claimed that to ‘make a balloon filled with semen, about 50 odd men would have to ejaculate in a balloon at the same time.’
