Uttam Nagar Clashes Live Updates: The Holi festival took a grim turn in Delhi’s Uttam Nagar area earlier this week after a man was killed when two families from different communities clashed over a water balloon thrown by a minor. The clashes broke out on Holi night, Wednesday, March 4, when an 11-year-old girl from a Hindu family was throwing water balloons from her balcony at passers-by below. One of them hit a Muslim woman, which the latter objected to.

The police said that this led to a quarrel between the girl’s family and the woman, which later turned into a violent quarrel.
At least four people were injured in the incident, including three from a Hindu family, of whom 26-year-old Tarun Kumar died on Thursday morning, leading to more clashes in the area.
Protests broke out, and vehicles were set on fire
The death resulting from the altercation led to protests in the Uttam Nagar area of west Delhi. Some vehicles were set on fire on Friday night and demonstrators choked in the streets, demanding justice for the dead.
The police had arrested four people and arrested a minor boy from a Muslim family on Thursday evening. The total arrests in the case so far stand at eight and a murder case has been filed over Kumar’s death.
Amid rising tensions in the area, police and other security forces were deployed in the neighborhood as people angry over the death gathered around the Muslim family’s home in an alleged attempt to attack, Hindustan Times reported earlier citing a police official who requested anonymity.
