1. Two Families Clash in Delhi’s Nizamuddin, Level Molestation Charges Against Each Other
Nine people, including four women, were injured in a clash between two families in south Delhi’s Nizamuddin market area on 3 September, Monday afternoon, police said.
Both families accused each other’s men of molesting their women members during the clash. Allegations from both sides mentioned misbehaviour against women to be the trigger for the clash, police said.
However, Chinmoy Biswal, deputy commissioner of police (south-east), said that the two families were involved in a quarrel last year too and Monday’s clash was a fallout of the “earlier enmity” they had.
“The last time the two families had quarrelled, was in September last year. One family blamed the other of not paying up after using a graveyard land owned by the other family. We had taken preventive action at that time to ensure peace between them,” said Biswal.
