On August 30, a 23-year-old boy Sahil Singh was allegedly beaten to death by a mob in Gali No.5, Vijay Park in Delhi’s Maujpur. Sahil, along with his friend Abhishek Kumar entered into a scuffle with Sanjay Chandraban, a man in his early forties and his minor son, Ayush. Both live in the same lane. Sahil’s family and friends claim there was a communal cause behind Sahil’s murder.
While an India Today report stated, “A 23-year-old man in Delhi was lynched for the mere act of entering the Brahmin lane”, a report by The Quint read, “Delhi boy murdered: Family insists its communal, friends unsure.”
