An initial probe revealed that one of the accused had allegedly kicked the victim and smashed his head on a wall.

DCP (South) Ankit Chauhan said the assault took place in Kharja number-5 of the court lock-up. Kharja is a special area where undertrials are kept before court appearance.

Aman, a resident of Govindpuri, was involved in an attempt to murder case in 2017. He was brought to the lock-up for appearance before the court, the DCP said.
