Man killed in cantonment

According to the police, Devraj was found bleeding by his mother’s neighbours who immediately informed the police control room. The control room on reaching the spot found Devraj badly injured on the head. He was immediately rushed to the hospital where he later died.

Devraj who evidently did not live with his mother had most likely gone to the house following his mother’s departure to Haridwar with his younger brother on Saturday night. The police believe that the victim was lying outside the house for over six hours, indicating that Devraj was attacked on Saturday night itself.

It has not been yet ascertained whether Devraj was attacked at the place where he was found or was dumped there after an attack in the vicinity. As there were no witnesses to the incident the police is still unsure about the identity of the attacker. Neighbours reportedly told the police that they did not hear anyone raising an alarm around the house.

As Devraj’s mother is out of town, the police has been unable to find more about him or about his possible enemies. A team has been sent to Haridwar to track down to get the mother and brother back to Delhi in order to pursue the case further.
