Rapido driver beaten to death over Rs 8k in Delhi

“Goli maar dethe, accident kara dethe, mera baccha tadapthaa tho nahi. Mein apne bacche ko bacha na saki (They should have shot him, killed him in an accident, at least my child would have died without pain. I could not save my child),” cried Rabiya, whose heart was broken for her 23-year-old son was mercilessly beaten to death by three people in Delhi’s Uttam Nagar.

Mohammed Uzaib worked as a Rapido driver. On June 26, the young man was continuously beaten for nearly eight hours by Sandeep, Lalit and Mohit at a secluded place in Najafgarh, about 14 km from Uzaib’s home. He was beaten, thrashed with a stick and stabbed with a sharp object, which



ruptured his organs.

His attackers dumped him outside his house. His shocked family rushed him to the hospital, where he died.

His brother, Zaib, told Media that Uzaib had taken Rs 50,000 loan from Sandeep for his wife’s delivery and managed to repay Rs 42,000.

“He had to pay Rs 8,000 short. About 15 days before the incident, those men had come to our house. Uzaib was not at home at the time. Before leaving, they threatened that wherever they found him, they would break all his bones,” Zaid alleged. 

Uzaib’s wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy, but he never got to see his child.
