New Delhi/IBNS, March 7 -- Tension gripped southwest Delhi's Uttam Nagar after a dispute between two neighbours over Holi celebrations turned violent on March 4, leaving a 26-year-old man dead, media reports said.

According to the victim's family, the dispute began when an 11-year-old girl was playing Holi on a terrace and threw a water balloon at her relatives standing below.

The coloured water accidentally splashed on a woman passing by, triggering an altercation between the two sides.

Several people were reportedly injured as the confrontation escalated.

Tarun's grandfather Mann Singh alleged that the woman hurled abuses and started a fight over the incident.
