Overview
- Delhi Police registered a criminal case against four of the victim's friends and called them in for questioning after reviewing CCTV and the victim's later statement.
- Investigators say video shows the dancer being beaten shortly before he was found near the tracks, and his newer account alleges the group assaulted him after drinking.
- Doctors at Safdarjung Hospital are treating catastrophic injuries after both of the victim's legs were severed when a train ran over him near Subzi Mandi station.
- The case now cites sections of India's new criminal code for causing hurt, wrongful restraint, and common intention, while officers examine phone records and other technical data.
- Relatives accuse police of first treating the incident as an accident or suicide and reject claims he was drunk, a dispute likely to draw scrutiny once medical and forensic reports arrive.
