New Delhi: CBI on Friday filed a charge sheet against seven people, including three juveniles, in connection with the death of 19-year-old Northeast student Nido Tania, son of an Arunachal Pradesh MLA, and said the victim was killed after an altercation over breaking of a glass counter.
The charge sheet was filed in a Chief Metropolitan Court here today in which CBI has alleged seven persons were involved in the assault on Tania. CBI has pressed charges of culpable homicide, illegal confinement and offences under the SC/ST Atrocities Act against Farman, Pawan, Sunder and Sunny Uppal, the agency alleged.
The proceedings against the three juveniles will be carried out by the Juvenile Justice Board, the agency said.
Delhi Police have already slapped murder charges against four persons in connection with the case.
The police had informed a local court that it had booked accused Farman, Sunder, Pawan and Sunny Uppal under section 302 (murder) of IPC after the postmortem report revealed that Tania died of injuries to his head and face caused by a blunt object. The case was transferred to CBI from Delhi Police for further probe after the victim’s parents had met Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, demanding speedy justice for Tania.
CBI said it had pressed for sector 304 as the death was due to sudden fight which was precipitated due to breaking of glass counter and that there no weapon used in the attack was found other than a stick. (PTI)
