The anxiety in the bylanes of JJ Colony in New Delhi’s Uttam Nagar is hard to miss. An 11-year-old from Tarun Butolia’s family had thrown a water balloon from the terrace. After a while, Butolia’s family came and took him to the nearby hospital on a scooty, Kumar said. A large meeting was held in a nearby park where Butolia's family presented their demands. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has urged Uttam Nagar residents to maintain peace, saying they had already suffered after Tarun Butolia’s death.
