A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable was beaten to death by a former Delhi Police constable and his friend when he stopped them from entering the premises of a CISF residential colony, police said Monday.
Both the accused, Sandeep Kumar (27), a former Delhi Police constable and his friend Deepak (28), have been arrested.
The incident took place around 10:45 p.m. Sunday in the Bawana area of Delhi.
The victim, Jaiveer Singh, 42, was rushed to a hospital where doctors declared him dead due to severe head injury.
"At the time of the incident both the accused were drunk," a police official said.
Additional Commissioner of Police M.A. Rizvi told IANS: "Sandeep, along with Deepak, was trying to enter the premises of CISF colony around 10.30 p.m. Sunday."
Jaiveer was standing guard at the colony gate and stopped Sandeep and Deepak when they tried to enter. The two accused then started beating him up.
Later, some CISF residents of the colony handed the duo over to the police.
Sandeep of Dariyapur village in West Delhi was dismissed from service in May this year for trying to extract money from people while posing as a traffic constable.
"Both accused have been booked for murder," Rizvi said.
A CISF official said Jaiveer was inducted into the CISF in 1992 and was deputed as a security guard in the Bawana residential colony. He was on night duty from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. when the incident took place.
