"Rahul was a tuition teacher and he taught students at home. He was a second-year student of Bachelor of Arts. He was attacked by over 8-10 men, and despite attempts to save him by some people around, they continued to thrash him," Rahul's father said.
CCTV footage from October 7 (Tuesday) shows Rahul out on a street with the girl and then he was believed to have been called by some people for tuition. As he covered some distance on foot, he was thrashed badly; he died at a hospital later due to injuries, as per the autopsy report.
According to the police, the girl's family was against the relationship because the two families are from different communities.
Reacting to the 18-year-old's death, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, "The family had come from a village to settle here. The boy used to teach and help others. We will ensure that those responsible get punished as soon as possible."
