Delhi fracas: Arunachal MLA’s son dies
New Delhi, January 31 The police have registered a case of murder and arrested two shopkeepers while the Delhi Government has recommended a magisterial probe. Nido Tanian, son of Congress MLA, Nido Pavitra, died on Thursday, a day after he was thrashed by shopkeepers in South Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar following an altercation, the police said. His relatives said the shopkeepers made fun of his hairstyle, leading to the fracas. The initial post-mortem has not revealed "much injury or aberration". Asked if cause of death could be due to injuries from the assault, DCP P Karunakaran said, "There is no final conclusive report as of now." A youth claiming to be Tanian’s cousin told a TV channel, "This is surely about racism. Everybody in Delhi discriminates against us based on our looks," he said. — Agencies
