NOIDA: The family of the 15-year-old boy who died of fatal injuries sustained during an attack by two customers who had come to buy vegetables from him last Saturday has accused the police of going easy on the suspects, questioning why the charges were filed for culpable homicide (Section 304, IPC) and not murder (Section 302).
The boy, they alleged, was attacked when his two brothers had gone to the police to file a complaint. Yet, the two suspects were arrested on Monday, two days after the assault on Rohit. One of them, Ashish Singh, is the son of a head constable posted in Gautam Budh Nagar.
