1 2 3 4 Ludhiana: A 25-year-old man was killed and four others injured in a free-for-all clash between two groups in which stones were pelted, and swords and hockey sticks used without a second thought, at Mohalla Fateh Singh Nagar , Daba, on Tuesday night. Locals claimed that the clash was the fallout of a rivalry over peddling drugs. CCTV footage of the incident showed the brutality of the clash involving at least 20 persons.
A group of 12-15 people, including a woman and some of whom looked like teenagers, could at first be seen pelting stones at the other group. However, when one of them collapses, the others run away and then 8-9 men arrive with hockey sticks and continue to hit the lifeless man on the ground. They then proceed to brutally thrash another man with hockey sticks, while the others run away.
Police said the accused and even the victim were facing multiple FIRs and there was an old rivalry between the two groups. However, the incident yet again shows growing lawlessness in the city. Sub-inspector Gurshinder Kaur, SHO of Daba police station, said police are verifying the angle of drugs behind the scuffle.
