Following the argument, Rajendra went to Mithun’s rented accommodation to resolve the matter but was thrashed by the latter and his accomplice.
The deceased’s brother, Aman, told the cops that Mithun and his accomplice hit his brother with sticks, rods, and bricks. The victim was hit on the front and back of his head following which he fell on the ground and was bleeding from his injuries. On hearing the commotion, Ravinder went to the house and was also beaten up with sticks, after which the accused fled the spot.
