The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) in New Delhi has denied bail to two minors arrested in connection with the death of 26-year-old Tarun during a violent clash between two families in Uttam Nagar on March 4. The altercation began when a water balloon thrown by a girl from one community hit a woman from another community. Presiding officer Chitranshi Arora stated that releasing the minors could disturb public peace and undermine confidence in the justice system. The board expressed concerns regarding the potential for retaliation and emphasized that continued protective custody is crucial for the minors' safety and rehabilitation under the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015. The board acknowledged the impact on the minors' education but prioritized their safety and the need for structured support. The clash had previously led to protests, with vehicles linked to the accused being set ablaze, indicating heightened tensions in the area.
