The incident occurred around 4 pm on Sunday.
According to the police, Dipender, who was known to misbehave with local girls, had entered a home, passed lewd comments about one of the women and escaped.
The furious family, alongwith a few locals, chased him to his home and called him out. They took him to Gali number 5, and attacked him with sticks. Dipender received several blows on his head and lay in a pool of blood for nearly an hour. The police took him to the GTB hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.
Jaspal Singh, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast district), said: “Dipender had been released from jail ten days ago.” In fact, he had been to jail several times already.
Dipender’s father, Deen Dayal Rai, has a shop in the locality.
A senior police officer added that from initial investigations, it appears that it was not a case of lynching, as most of his attackers belonged to the family whose home he had entered.
The locals however, were furious with him, as he had misbehaved with another girl just two days ago. On that occasion, a heated argument had broken out between him and a few locals.
A case has been registered at the Khajuri Khas police station and further investigations are on. “No one has been arrested yet,” DCP Singh added.
