In the second incident a 30-year-old rickshaw puller was beaten to death after a drunken brawl in Delhi’s Darya Ganj area.

In another incident, a 25-year-old man Furkan Anjum, died when he fell off a five-storied building while celebrating Holi with his friends near his rented accommodation at North-east Delhi’s New Usmanpur area, a police official informed.
