A police official had to fire two rounds in the air to scare away the mob. The Delhi Police have nabbed Sadkeen and two others. Naved, who had opened fire, is absconding.
The media reports had stated that the Dalit men were beaten, tortured by villagers for stealing from the house of a 'Brahmin man'. The police have denied any caste angle in the case and have stated that the accused were from both upper and lower castes.
