18-Year-Old Arrested for Allegedly Pushing Friend Off Cliff in Faridabad
An 18-year-old man, Mohammad Mufid, was arrested in Faridabad for allegedly pushing his 17- or 19-year-old friend, Raj Kumar, off a cliff near Sirohi lake during an argument over a mobile phone. The victim fell about 73 feet onto rocks and died on the spot. Mufid initially claimed the victim slipped and drowned, misleading the victim's family and police.
