Delhi: Family of a 25-year-old who was hacked to death in Delhi's Nangloi on Tuesday evening has blamed the Delhi police for their inaction as having costed their family member's life. The family claimed that instant action by the police would have benefited in saving a life.
Shocking visuals of the victim's final moments have surfaced. In the video, a man was seen trying to help the victim in the latter's final moments. He tries to turn him around. The victim later helps himself sit up. Motorists were seen trying to carry the victim in vain while other motorists pass by.
The deceased is identified as Sahil Malik, (25), by his uncle Khaleel Malik, when the latter came to meet the investigation team. He said the victim's brother Vishal Mailk who was first beaten up by the gang had come to this police station and sought their assistance to deal with the situation.
"My nephew Vishal Malik was returning from a gym when he had an argument with an RTV bus driver over some issue. They were 8-10 people and thrashed him. He left his bike there and managed to escape. He went to Nangloi police station and sought help but police didn't help him," ANI quoted Khaleel as saying.
"Later he called his brother Sahil and asked him to bring the bike. When Sahil went there, they attacked him with knife and he died on spot," he added. The family has lodged a complaint with the police who have registered a case and are investigating.
