New Delhi, June 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) A man facing an attempt-to-murder trial in Saket district court in south Delhi was murdered in a lockup on the judicial premises by two undertrials, an official said on Thursday, confirming the incident that has sparked a debate over breach of security and safety of undertrials. "Aman was strangled after the accused - Jaidev and Jitender -- hit his head on a wall over an old enmity," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan. Aman, 24, a resident of Govindpuri, was facing trial in a 2024 attempt to murder case in which Jitender and his brother were complainants, the police said. On Thursday, Aman was pinned to the ground and strangled with feet by the accused, an official said, adding that the accused first banged his head on the wall, resulting in Aman losing blood from the wound, police said. Soon after an alarm was raised over the assault in the lock-up, a bleeding Aman was rushed to the hospital, but he died on the way, the police said. The murder took place in holding cell number 5 of the court premises where Aman, the two assailants and other undertrials were kept after arriving from Tihar Jail No. 8 for attending court proceedings.
