CBI today filed a charge sheet against seven people, including three juveniles, in a Chief Metropolitan Court in New Delhi in connection with the death of 19-year-old Northeast student Nido Tania. The agency said the victim was killed after an altercation over breaking of a glass counter. CBI has pressed charges of culpable homicide, illegal confinement and offences under the SC/ST Atrocities Act against four of them. The proceedings against the three juveniles will be carried out by the Juvenile Justice Board.

Son of Congress MLA Nido Pavibtra from Arunachal Pradesh, Tania had an altercation with some shopkeepers at a local market in New Delhi on January 29 this year after they made fun of his hairstyle, following which they allegedly thrashed him. He was found dead the next day at his residence. Delhi Police have already slapped murder charges against four persons in connection with the case.
