“Now we have no objection to the case against Rajsingh… being dismissed and his bail granted,” the affidavit states.

SHO of Bhondsi police station Inspector Surender Kumar said, “They have reached an oral agreement.”

Following the altercation over playing cricket, at least 35-40 people barged into the house of Mohammed Dilshad alias Shamshad with batons, hockey sticks and iron rods while others pelted the family with stones from outside on Holi in Bhondsi’s Bhoop Singh Nagar.

The incident drew more attention after a video shot on mobile phone went viral on social media platform purportedly showed a group of men attacking the family’s male members with sticks, even as women plead for them to stop.
