A 26-year-old man was assaulted and stabbed to death by two men, allegedly due to personal enmity, in west Delhi’s Raghubir Nagar on Tuesday night, said police.
Police added they arrested the suspects and booked for murder and destruction of evidence, as a knife they allegedly used in the crime was missing, police said.
The dead man and his killers are from different communities and lived in the same neighbourhood.
After the murder came to light, tension gripped the neighbourhood and some people tried to give it a communal colour. Police, however, clarified that there was no issue of communal disharmony in the area because of the murder. Senior police officers were monitoring the situation, they said.
Deputy commissioner of police (west) Urvija Goel said that on Tuesday night, the Rajouri Garden police station received a call regarding a medico-legal case (MLC) from Guru Govind Singh Hospital. The hospital said the patient had been stabbed. The police sent a team to the hospital where they learnt that the patient, identified as Dablu Singh, was referred to Safdarjung Hospital since his condition was critical.
Safdarjung Hospital informed us regarding Singh’s death. We learnt that Singh was stabbed in the neck by some locals due to personal enmity,” said DCP Goel, refusing to elaborate on the “enmity” between Singh and his attackers.
Police said that a case was registered and two suspects were apprehended following raids. The two were identified as Farhan alias Ladla, 20, and his friend Shahalam alias Chhana, 24, both residents of TC Camp in Raghubir Nagar.
A preliminary investigation into the case revealed that Singh was friends with the sister of one of the arrested men. The woman’s brother was against that friendship and had warned Singh to stay away from her. The two had an altercation over the issue previously as well and had threatened each other, the police said.
On Tuesday night, the two men stopped Singh in a lane in their neighbourhood and assaulted him. One of them stabbed him in the neck before fleeing the crime scene. Singh himself reached the hospital in an auto-rickshaw. However, his condition deteriorated and he was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, said a police officer, who did not want to be identified.
“We are probing if Singh’s murder has anything to do with his friendship with the woman from the other community. The other possibilities are also being looked into,” said the officer.
