In a tragic incident in Delhi's Sanjay Colony area, Mohammad Hanif, a 38-year-old porter, lost his life while trying to protect his 14-year-old son from a group of boys. The altercation began when his son encountered a group of four or five youngsters sitting on his bike, blocking his way as he tried to retrieve it from a nearby street late on Friday night, NDTV reported
What began as a simple request to move the bike quickly escalated into a physical confrontation. Hearing the commotion, Mohammad Hanif rushed outside to intervene and protect his son from harm. Tragically, instead of diffusing the situation, the confrontation took a deadly turn as the group of boys turned on Mr. Hanif, brutally attacking him with bricks.
Authorities were alerted to the incident, and a police team swiftly arrived at the scene. They rushed Mr. Hanif to the AIIMS trauma center, but despite their efforts, the medical staff declared him deceased.
The police have initiated a case and are actively searching for the individuals responsible for this senseless act of violence. This heartbreaking incident has unfolded against the backdrop of heightened security in the national capital, as Delhi hosts the 18th G20 Leaders' Summit. With over 50,000 personnel, including dog squads and mounted police, deployed to ensure security during the summit, this tragic incident serves as a somber reminder of the need for vigilance and safety in our communities during these challenging times.
