A 29-year-old driver, Daljit, was beaten to death at Tor House Night Club in Sarai Rohilla, Delhi, on the night of 10 October after beer from a friend's glass accidentally fell on a woman. Police have arrested five people, including the club manager, his wife and three bouncers, on a complaint from the victim's family. Sources report the victim and his friends apologised, but the assault continued. Daljit suffered the worst injuries, died after being taken home and then to hospital. He leaves a wife, an eight-year-old son and a father. Police are examining CCTV footage and awaiting the postmortem report to determine the exact cause of death.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Amar Ujala ran two pieces that differ in emphasis: the first led with the club owner and bouncers as accused, while the later article added the arrest of the manager, his wife and three bouncers, and reported that the victim apologised repeatedly. Aaj Tak's report is straight crime reporting, confirming the arrests and noting the postmortem is awaited. The three versions agree on the core events: an accidental beer spill, a fatal assault on 29-year-old Daljit at Tor House Night Club on 10 October, and five people in custody. The coverage is uniform on the facts, with the variation only in level of detail. The postmortem report and CCTV footage remain the key pending items to determine the exact cause of death.
