<p>A 60-year-old man was killed when he tried to stop a quarrel between his son and a nephew outside his home in Rohtash Nagar area in Shahdara, police said on Monday. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Rajendra Kumar was declared brought dead at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital at around 5 pm on Sunday, police said. <br /><br />The victim's son Kaushal Kumar – who works in a private company and lived there with his parents and a younger brother and a sister – told police how the fight began. <br /><br />“On Sunday evening, when he was taking his bike out of the house, a slipper fell near him from the first floor. He saw his cousin Naveen standing on the first floor,” said a police officer. Naveen and Kaushal began arguing.<br /><br />Seeing this, Kaushal’s uncle Krishan Kumar came out and tried to pacify Naveen, but he continued hurling abuses. Naveen’s father Murli Dhar Kumar too came out. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Rajendra Kumar came there, appealing to Naveen to end the fight and asking his own son to leave. <br /><br />But Naveen turned aggressive and allegedly pushed Rajendra Kumar to the ground. <br />The elderly man managed to stand up and moved towards his room, but collapsed there. He started vomiting and lost consciousness, said the officer. <br /><br />Kaushal and other family members rushed him to the hospital where doctors declared him brought dead. The doctors said that he might have died of a heart attack but the exact reason will be known only after autopsy. <br /> <br />A case under section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) has been registered at Shahdara police station against Naveen. <br /> <br />Police said Naveen fled from home after getting to know about Rajendra Kumar’s death. <br /><br />“We are looking for the accused and questioning his family members for his hideouts,” said the officer.</p>
