Authorities in Faridabad's Sirohi area have apprehended Mufeed, also known as Mannu, in connection with the death of 19-year-old Rajkumar. According to police investigation, the fatal incident occurred when the two were filming online content. A disagreement erupted between them after Rajkumar's mobile phone broke during the video recording session. During the altercation, the suspect allegedly pushed Rajkumar off a cliff, resulting in his death. Following the incident, the accused reportedly misled family members by fabricating a story that Rajkumar had drowned in a nearby lake. Police say the false account delayed the investigation and discovery of the actual circumstances surrounding the teenager's death. The case highlights growing concerns about risky behaviour undertaken by young people while filming social media content in hazardous locations.
