Police said they went through the CCTV footage, in which Kumar can be seen coming under unprovoked attack by the group which attack him indiscriminately.
One more security guard who came to his rescue also sustained injuries and was shifted to hospital.
According to the investigating officer in the case Ramphal, the seriously injured victim was rushed to PGIMS hospital here where he died moments later.
Police said that Dheeraj Kumar (20), one of the alleged attacker who was overpowered by other security guards on duty at mall, was arrested and handed over to police.
