NEW DELHI: Tension continued to prevail on Saturday in Uttam Nagar’s JJ Colony in West Delhi following the tragic incident that took place during Holi celebrations, which later led to the death of a youth. The situation in the area remains volatile, with heavy deployment of security forces to maintain law and order.
In the lane behind the crime scene, where some relatives of the accused reportedly lived, an angry mob vandalised household belongings and damaged a scooty. Following the incident, the relatives of the accused allegedly fled the area out of fear.
Police personnel quickly intervened and cleared the site to prevent further escalation. Despite continuous patrolling and the presence of a large number of security personnel, tension continues to linger in the neighbourhood.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Dwarka, Niharika Bhatt visited the grieving family in JJ Colony on Saturday to assess the situation firsthand and review the security arrangements in the area.
