UP: One killed as children's fight turns into adults' brawl
A 22-year-old man, who was injured during a clash over a cricket match at a village in Greater Noida, succumbed to injuries today. Mohammed Rizwan was among the five people who had suffered injuries in the clash in which bullets were fired at Kalonda village in UP yesterday. Besides Rizwan, Naseem, Mohammad Arif, Waqil Khan, and Umar Khan were injured in the fight.
Rizwan died of severe head injuries
"Rizwan died today during treatment at a private hospital in adjoining Ghaziabad district. He had suffered head injuries and was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition," Station House Officer at Jarcha Police Station, Krishan Kumar Rana, said.
Children's fight during cricket match escalated as adults joined in
The quarrel appears to have started over a children's fight during a cricket match but it escalated when the adults from the two sides joined the fight. Shots were fired and both groups assaulted each other with bricks and sticks. Rizwan was shot in the head and rushed to the district hospital in Dadri. Later, he was shifted to a private hospital in Ghaziabad.
Six persons booked; no arrests so far: Rana
An FIR has been registered based on a complaint by Rizwan's uncle and six persons were initially booked for attempt to murder and other sections of rioting. Rana said the police have detained a few persons but no arrest has been made yet. "We're probing the matter and now we will press charges under Indian Penal Code Section 302 for murder also," he said.
