An 18-year-old has died after he was attacked with knives, rods and sticks by group of men in a market in Chandigarh on Wednesday.
The assault happened in daylight and was caught on camera. Seven people have been arrested and the eighth accused, who is reportedly a minor, is absconding.
The teenager, identified as Vikas, was travelling on a two-wheeler in Sector 25 with two of his friends when he was stopped and attacked by at least eight men.
CCTV video from a nearby shop shows locals didn't intervene while he was being attacked. After a while, the attackers fled from the spot as a man came to his rescue.
The teen was rushed to PGI hospital where he died due to excessive blood loss. Police said they are trying to ascertain the motive behind the attack.
A relative of the teenager has told police that he had a fight with some men a couple of months ago over sale of liquor after which he was charged with disturbing peace. He had recently come out after spending two months in jail.
