Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Three minors were detained in connection with the murder of a youth over applying colour on the day of Holi in the Bhanwarkuan area, police said on Thursday.
According to the police, the deceased was identified as Aditya Jamre, a resident of Shivparwati Nagar in the Palda area. He hailed from Barwani district and worked at a company in the city.
On Wednesday, people were celebrating Holi using colours. When Aditya was standing outside his rented house, a minor and his two other minor friends passed by and allegedly applied colour on him. This led to an argument between them.
After a few minutes, the trio left the spot but returned shortly with a knife. During the altercation, one of them allegedly stabbed Aditya twice, leaving him critically injured.
Aditya was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Police detained all the three minors, while a search is under way for one of their accomplices.
