On Tuesday, the three men — Deepak,30, Ranjeet,30, and Shiv Kumar,22, — had come to Yamuna ghat near Kalindi Kunj to play drums and earn money. As devotees were not coming during day time, they went to Abul Fazal Enclave for begging on the occasion of Moharram.

“A group of three to four men stopped them and assaulted them after accusing them of child lifting. We arrested two of them after it was found that they spread rumours and unnecessarily assaulted the three men,” said Chinmay Biswal, DCP (southeast).
