Gurugram, Nov 10 (UNI) A minor has been apprehended for allegedly killing a 29-year-old man by throwing a stone at his head from the fourth floor of a building following an argument over bursting firecrackers in Gurugram's Manohar Nagar locality, police said on Tuesday.
The victim, identified as Mithun Kumar, sustained a severe head injury in the incident on the night of November 8. He was rushed to a hospital by his family members, where doctors declared him dead.
Police said the incident took place around 11 pm on Street No. 7 in Manohar Nagar, under the jurisdiction of the New Colony police station.
