Nido Tania, son of an Arunachal Pradesh MLA, has died after being brutally beaten up by a mob in Delhi. Joint commissioner of police Robin Hibu, who is helping in the probe, said, “We have detained three persons and are questioning them. ”
According to AIIMS sources, the initial findings of the autopsy indicate that internal injuries may have caused the death,but this is not conclusive. Viscera samples have been sent for further toxicology examination. Tania lived in Jalandhar and was a student of BA first year in Lovely Professional University. He was in Delhi on a holiday and had been staying with a friend.
The incident took place when Tania had gone to Lajpat Nagar to meet a friend. According to his family, at around 1.30 pm on Wednesday he entered a shop, Rajdhani Paneer Bhandar, to ask for the address as he was unable to locate the house. The shopkeeper, Farman, allegedly mocked him for his dyed hair. “He also hurled a racialslur at him,” alleged Nido Jose Apil, his uncle. This led to an argument.Tania lost his cool and smashed the glass counter of the shop. The shopkeeper called out to the labourers working around the shop and they began to thrash him. Meanwhile, the police were called and Tania was handed over.
Unknown to the cops,Tania and the shopkeeper had already reached a compromise and he had agreed to pay him for the damage. The family claimed he paid Rs.11,000. When cops took Tania to the Lajpat Nagar police station,he refused to file a complaint and gave them in writing that he had compromised with the shop owner. “Farman too told the cops that Tania had paid him and they didn’t want to pursue the case. But as soon the cops left, Farman called up his men and together they thrashed him,” said Apil.
