Three held for clubbing man to death

NEW DELHI: Three young men have been arrested on charges of bludgeoning a person to death at Harsh Vihar in North-East Delhi on Saturday night. A hunt has been launched for the fourth accused.

According to the police, the incident took place late in the evening when Charan Singh in an inebriated state went to a shop and asked for "guthka". Mukesh, who was seating there in place of his relative Anil, asked Charan to first make the payment, at which an argument broke out between them.

Charan left the place and returned along with his three accomplices after a while. They allegedly beat up Mukesh with rods and bricks. He was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Charan and two of his accomplices, Rinku and Hari Shankar, have been arrested.

Minor gang-raped

New Delhi: A 13-year-old girl was gang-raped after she was forcefully taken from her home in northwest Delhi locality.

The victim was at home in Nathupura area with her younger brother when three men barged in.

The trio took her to a nearby desolate place and raped her and dumped her there.

The matter came to light when the girl returned with injuries and related the incident to her mother.

The teenager has identified her attackers as Vijay, Sumit and Sanjay as she heard them address each other.

She was admitted to Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital here.

Man arrested
