A teenager with a speech disability was allegedly beaten to death in the north Indian state of Bihar after his loud shout was mistaken for a cheer during the T20 cricket world cup final between India and New Zealand.
Kundan Kumar, 17, who had a speech disability from birth, was allegedly killed in Vaishali district on Sunday while watching the match on his mobile phone with a group of young men from his village. A dispute broke out when Kundan reacted loudly after a wicket fell. Another teenager interpreted the reaction as a celebratory cheer and the argument soon escalated into a physical scuffle.
