However, conflicting reasons behind the attack emerged during interrogation. “More investigation revealed that he was beaten by other inmates, who were apprehended,” a Delhi Police official said.

According to the statement of one of the accused, the deceased had abused them, and that led to a fight with him. Another suspect confessed that they beat him, thinking his death would lead to a declaration of holiday from Madrasa.
