A teenager died after sustaining injuries during a friendly fist fight at Mirpet in Hyderabad.

The others present during the “match” passed it off as an accident. The incident which took place on May 3 was uncovered only when the boy’s father insisted that it be investigated.

Incidentally, the entire fight was recorded on a mobile phone. In the video, two young men are seen scuffling on the roadside. Finally, after a flurry of blows on the head, one of them collapses. The victim, a 17-year-old boy, died on the spot.

The other boys tried to fool the family by telling his mother that he died in a bike accident. However, his father who works in Saudi Arabia rushed back home and found things suspicious and then called on the police.

During interrogation, one of the boys confessed to the incident and the video surfaced on Friday. The police have taken him and two others, in custody.
