The locals then immediately rushed the two to JJ hospital, where Nazimuddhin was declared dead on arrival, while his sister is still recuperating.

The JJ Marg police registered a case under section 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and arrested the two accused from the spot.
