Uttam Nagar violence: JJB denies bail to accused minors, says ‘release could disturb public peace’

The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) in New Delhi has denied bail to two minors who were arrested in connection with the killing of a man during a clash between two families on Holi in southwest Delhi’s Uttam Nagar.

On March 4, 26-year-old Tarun died after being injured in a clash between two neighbouring families of different communities. The altercation was triggered after a water balloon thrown by a girl from one community accidentally hit a woman from the other.
