FARIDABAD: A 30-year-old tavern employee was beaten to death by members of a wedding procession in Faridabad after he refused to serve them alcohol, police said on Wednesday. The incident occurred around 12.30am near a community center in Ballabgarh’s Sector-3 area. The deceased was identified as Aadesh (30), a native of Uttar Pradesh. Police said a group of wedding guests from Gurugram had arrived at the tavern, located near a liquor shop in HSVP Market, seeking alcohol. When Aadesh refused to serve them, the guests became enraged and allegedly attacked him. The 30-year-old was brutally thrashed, resulting in his death on the spot, police said. Due to the large number of attackers, Aadesh was unable to defend himself and succumbed to his injuries, police added. Police were alerted after the incident and the body was sent for postmortem. Teams have been deployed to identify and arrest the accused. CCTV footage from the area is being examined and eyewitnesses are being questioned. “An FIR has been registered against unknown accused.
