A 12-year-old boy was allegedly beaten to death by a man at Mandoli village in Dadri district, police said on Tuesday.
The deceased was identified as Himanshu, a Class-8 student.
The boy’s grandfather told the police that his grandson was playing with some kids in the village on Monday evening when suddenly a quarrel broke out among them.
The matter took an ugly turn when the father of one of the boys came out of the house and started thrashing Himanshu. The man, identified as Vipin, a private school teacher, fled the spot as soon as Himanshu’s grandfather intervened.
“We rushed my grandson to the Dadri civil hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment on Tuesday,” the boy’s grandfather added.
