The incident occured at Ahinsa circle under Subhash Nagar yesterday where Prem Shankar and his son Shyam beat up Shankar Lal Jat, police said on Saturday.
Jat was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead.
The daughter of Prem Shankar was allegedly raped by Shankar a few days ago and an FIR in this connection was lodged on Thursday, the police said, adding that the father and the son duo were absconding.
After the brutal rape of a five-year-old in Delhi, people are protesting on the streets. They are increasingly getting frustrated at the apathy shown by the Delhi police, politicians and administration in taking concrete measures to curb the menace.
Such is the level of anger that civil society runs the risk of being barbaric. But if everyone tries to settle score like this then very soon there will be anarchy and bloodshed on the road.
Sadly, our icons seem to be getting swayed away with the enormity of the crime and happen to instigate people to take law in their own hands.
Reacting to five-year-old girl's rape, Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog: “Even animals have certain codes of conduct! Jails are not the solutions...keeping them bound and confined shall not change them or their thinking...They need to be made examples of. They need to be shamed first publicly and then left to the public to deal them justice in whichever way they see fit."
Perhaps, time is running out for the government as people are getting impatient. But, this should not be an excuse for us to tread the path of criminals.
