The sister of the 10-year-old boy admitted to the ICU told NDTV that her younger brother was seriously injured during the violence and is currently undergoing treatment.

"My brother is 10 years old. He had gone along with our cousin, who is around 27-28 years old. They had gone to take some photographs. After that, my brother was attacked. The people involved hit him with stones from behind. My brother suffered serious injuries. He has developed a blood clot and is in a critical condition," she said.

Describing the attack, she alleged that the accused were carrying stones and sticks. "One of them had a large stone in his hand. He was also carrying a wooden stick. It was quite broad and even had nails in it," she said.

She claimed that only three attackers were seen by her family during the assault. "We saw only three people with our eyes. I don't know whether there was anyone else in the vehicle, but we saw three men carrying out the attack," she said.

She further alleged that one of the accused is a resident of Mayur Vihar Phase-3 and lives in the Gharoili area. "We have photographs of him and have already handed them over," she said.

AAP MLA Raises Questions Over Law 

Local AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar alleged that such an incident took place despite the presence of a police outpost just 500 metres from the society. 

Kumar further said he visited the spot during the night and interacted with local residents, who expressed anger and concern over the incident. 

The MLA also questioned the law-and-order situation in the national capital, alleging that criminals were operating without fear despite Delhi having a "four-engine government" and urged Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to ensure the immediate arrest of the accused.

Police Examining CCTV Footage

Police have launched an investigation into the incident and are working to identify those involved. Officials are scanning CCTV footage from the area and gathering information from eyewitnesses as part of the probe.

The incident triggered panic among residents, with eyewitness accounts and CCTV footage capturing the commotion in the society. Police said further action will be taken based on the findings of the investigation.
