On Thursday evening, three boys allegedly beat a youth to death near Star City mall at the instance of an older friend and then disfigured the victim's face to delay identification by police.
Quick groundwork helped police crack the case within 24 hours but they were shocked to find that it was planned and executed by three minors. Police say the victim, 22-year-old Ravi, was close to a girl in his neighbourhood but her brother Deepak, 19, was opposed to their relationship. The three lived in Trilokpuri, east Delhi.
Deepak allegedly roped in three of his friends, all minors, to get rid of Ravi. Around 6.30pm on Thursday, all four visited Ravi and invited him over for a party. Sources said the boys took Ravi to the mall and waited for him to get drunk. On the way back, they pinned him down and beat him to death with stones on a lonely stretch near Hilton Hotel and Mayur Vihar fire station. Before fleeing they disfigured Ravi's face.
However, a police team led by SHO Vivekanand Jha was able to identify the victim as his name was tattooed on his arm. "We immediately looked up our record of missing people and traced Ravi's family, who then helped us locate the friends with whom he had left the house. During questioning, the accused confessed to the murder. We hope to get more evidence against them from the postmortem report,'' said an officer.
Just a week ago, three teens had murdered another for refusing to pay them 'protection' money during their school tiffin break. The case was reported from the Pandav Nagar area adjoining Mayur Vihar. Last month also the east district police had caught several minors for the brutal murder of a youth from Laxmi Nagar who was in a relationship with the sister of an accused.
Latest data of the National Crime Records Bureau shows 100 juveniles were caught in the city last year for murder and another 63 for rape. Although the capital fares much better than states like Maharashtra and Bihar in this regard, psychologists say the time has come to ensure that minors don't stray to the wrong side of the law.
Besides the juveniles held in the city for committing rape and murder, 74 were caught for attempts to murder and six for committing culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Of the 18 held for kidnapping and abduction, 10 had targeted girls. Another 13 juveniles were held for dacoity.
Analyses of figures from Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra also shows that juveniles' involvement in crime has jumped. While 183 juveniles were held in Maharashtra in 2012 for being involved in murders, 197 were held in Madhya Pradesh.
