A 21-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death on Saturday after he tried to intervene in a fight between his brother and other players during a cricket match.
The incident took place on January 13, but came to light only after an FIR was registered on Monday evening by the victim’s father Sandeep Kumar Rawat, a daily wage labourer.
The position Savla was fielding at was very close to another game being played at the adjacent Dadar Parsee Colony pitch. Savla had no time to react when the batter near him played a powerful pull shot in his direction. The ball struck the back of his head as he instinctively turned around
