Youth stabbed to death in front of family at Azadpur

New Delhi, July 2

A 20-year-old man was stabbed to death by six men in front of his family in Kewal Park area near Azadpur in north-west Delhi.

The police said the incident took place after Jai Pal Singh’s bike brushed past a truck near Kewal Park, leading to an argument with the driver of the truck. 

While Singh was talking to the mini-truck driver, six people who live near the crime scene, joined in. Though the truck driver left, the group got into an altercation with Singh over the incident.

DCP (North-West) Usha Rangnani stated that it was not a case of road rage. 

The police added that when the six suspects started slapping and pushing Singh, he called his two sons — Pant Priya Sagar (22), and Dev Priya Sagar (20). The brawl intensified when the two reached the spot.

While three suspects overpowered Singh and Pant, the other three caught Dev and stabbed him at least four times. As Dev collapsed, the attackers fled the spot. 

Dev was rushed to a nearby private hospital where he was declared dead on arrival. 

The police have registered a case of murder and taken up further investigation.
