Four men sustained injuries after a scuffle broke out between two groups in north east Delhi’s Jaffrabad on Tuesday night.

Deputy commissioner of police (north east) Joy Tirkey said that the injured have been identified as Shahrukh Khan, 30, Bunty (goes by his first name), 22, Fahim Khan, 42, and Rashid Khan, 19. While the other three are residents of Jafrabad, Rashid resides in Brahmpuri.
Police said that around 11.30pm, Rashid and his 29-year-old sister were walking past Kashmiri House in Jafrabad when a few men passed some remarks at them. “When Rashid protested, he was roughed up by the men and he sustained injuries on his right arm.
