Nyaya (justice) is a word that easily rolls off the tongues of residents of Hastsal colony in Delhi’s Uttam Nagar. Here, even children as young as 10 are in crowds baying for blood in the name of justice. The anger traces back to the night of Holi. On March 4, Tarun Bhutolia, 26, lost his life in a ‘clash’ between two families over a Holi water balloon. The same house would later face ‘bulldozer action’ by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
