The Delhi Police on Saturday detained one person in connection with the brutal murder of a Congolese youth in South Delhi's Vasant Kunj late on Friday night.

23-year-old, Oliva, was on his was home when he got into an argument with three to four persons. The argument later led to a fight, after which the African youth was chased and beaten with sticks and stones.

He was then rushed to a nearby private hospital, where he was declared brought dead.

The police have launched a probe into the matter and are trying to ascertain whether the attack was racially motivated, a fight turning ugly, a robbery attempt or case of personal enmity.

The cops are also looking for any CCTVs that might have recorded the brutal act.

This comes just months after a Tanzanian woman was allegedly stripped and beaten on the streets in Bengaluru after a road accident.
