GHAZIABAD: A 23-year-old man was allegedly bludgeoned to death with a rod by family members and neighbours of a minor girl whose father got
to know about their relationship
The assault took place in Khoda Colony on Thursday.Before his death, the youngster managed to call his brother and said: "Save me, they'll
kill me." Police said the girl's father and two others -- his nephew Aman (23) and their neighbour Ranjeet (23) - have been arrested
They are all residents of Khoda
Cops were initially told that a thief was caught in the colony around 6.30pm
A team rushed to Khoda, where they found Parvez unconscious
He was taken to a city hospital, where doctors declared him dead, DCP (trans-Hindon) Vivek Yadav told TOI on Friday
Preliminary investigation indicated the case wasn't that of theft.According to police officials, Parvez - a welder - had met the girl, who
is from a different community, a year ago in Delhi, and the two began seeing each other
On Thursday, the 15-year-old girl called him over to her house when her family wasn't around, but her father returned home earlier than
expected."The father saw the two of them
He then called his neighbours Ranjeet and Aman, and the trio locked Parvez inside a room and thrashed him with a rod," a police officer
aware of the investigation said.Parvez's family, based in Loni, said he called his younger brother Sameer around 5pm and 5.30pm for help."He
left home around 11am and told us that he was meeting some friends
We didn't know anything more
Parvez called my younger brother Sameer in the evening and said: 'Save me, they are going to kill me.' That was the last we heard from him,"
said Mohammad Asif, the youngster's brother
Asif said the family was informed about Parvez's death in the evening."He was a simple man who was very focused on work..
Even if he was caught with a girl, the family could have handed him over to the police
Who gave them the authority to beat my brother to death? My brother is gone
I want justice for him," Asif said.The family filed a complaint against the three accused and an FIR was registered under Section 302
Cops said two teams were formed
"The girl's father was arrested from the district hospital
Later, Ranjeet was held from Khoda and Aman was packing his belongings when he was arrested
We have also recovered the iron rod used to hit Parvez," Yadav said.
