NEW DELHI: A 40-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death with a stick in north Delhi’s Burari on Friday. Police have arrested the accused in the case.
The deceased was identified as Jitender, who lived in Burari and was working as a salesman. As per the official, the incident was reported around 8.30pm on Friday when there was an argument between the victim and one Kamal Shukla (30).
“Both were drunk and were crossing a lane when an argument started between them over the use of foul language,” the official said.

He told police that a boy came to his house and informed him that Jitender was beaten by Kamal. “I rushed to the spot and saw people were just standing and Jitender was lying on the street. Blood was oozing out from his head. A stick with bloodstains was also lying near him. He was not able to speak,” the complainant told police.
