Haryana: A vibrant Dandiya Night celebration at BPTP Princess Park Society in Greater Faridabad Sector-86 of Haryana took a tragic turn when an altercation involving a young girl escalated into a fatal incident on Monday. Three young men, identified as Lucky and his friends, reportedly started dancing with a girl, causing discomfort to her. When the girl's father, Prem Mehta aged 52, protested against their behaviour, the situation escalated, leading to a violent altercation.
A video of the incident has surfaced on the internet showing the man being pushed around by the accused individuals. He can be seen manhandled by the young men in the middle of the crowd.
What Exactly Happened At The Event?
The victim's daughter, Kanika, informed her mother about the situation when she felt pressured by the accused to dance. When the mother attempted to intervene and reason with the youths, they responded with aggression, abusing Kanika and her mother.
Even Kanika's brother, attempting to mediate, became a target of their anger. Prem Mehta intervened to resolve the conflict, but tragically, he was beaten and pushed to the ground by Lucky and his friends.
Case Filed In The Matter
Prem Mehta, left unconscious due to the shock, was rushed to a nearby hospital by his family members. Despite medical efforts, he succumbed to his injuries, leading to a case of culpable homicide being registered against the three accused, including Lucky. The incident has left the community in shock, and a police investigation is underway.
The incident occurred in the presence of around three hundred people, yet witnesses failed to intervene effectively. Family members claim that the accused were under the influence of alcohol during the altercation. The police are awaiting the post-mortem report to determine the exact cause of death.
