Scuffle over water in Bhopal, 10-year-old killed

Bhopal: A fight over water between two families in Bhopal led to the death of a ten-year-old boy.  

The locals of the Tila Jamalpur area depend on one water tank in their area. Every night after the municipality fills the tank up, the 100 odd families stand in long queues for a few buckets.  On Friday night, two families got into a scuffle after one of them tried to break a line.  The boy who was standing with four members of his family objected to the man rushing ahead of them. The 10-year-old was then attacked with a knife and was rushed to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Even though the police have registered a case against 10 people, just five including the main accused have been arrested.
