Three cops were injured today when a mob pelted stones at them protesting the death of a youth in an accident in North Dwarka area of south-west Delhi.
22-year-old Yadram, a resident of Matiyala, was returning from his in-laws' place in Chhawla when his scooter was hit by a water tanker in North Dwarka area.
