New Delhi: A 44-year-old labourer was beaten to death allegedly by four persons after he asked them not to drink on a foothpath in south Delhi's Saket area, police said on Saturday. Two men have been arrested in connection with the case.
On Thursday around 7.26 am, information was received from Max Hospital, Saket that a man, identified as Arvind Sah, a resident of Pushp Vihar Sector-4, was brought to the hospital by his brother, Arun, and he was declared brought dead, a senior police officer said.
Police reached the hospital and learnt that Sah worked as a labourer at Tughlakabad container depot, he said.
His brother did not suspect that Sah was killed by anyone as the deceased was addicted to drinking and used to return home late night or sometimes the next morning. He did not have any enmity with anyone, the officer said. On Thursday around 6 am, the deceased was found lying near a Mother Dairy outlet in Pushp Vihar Sector-4, around 200 metres away from his home.
