In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the capital, a 34-year-old cab driver lost his life in a brutal stabbing at a park in Delhi's Rohini area. The fatal altercation occurred on Tuesday evening when the victim objected to loud music being played by a group of teenagers.
The Fateful Evening Turns Deadly
According to police officials, the victim, identified as Joginder Singh, had visited Aman Park in Rohini Sector 16 around 7 PM. What began as a verbal confrontation over noise levels quickly escalated into physical violence when Singh asked a group of four teenagers to lower their music volume.
"The situation turned violent when the teenagers refused to comply and instead attacked Singh with a knife," a senior police officer revealed. "He sustained multiple stab wounds and was rushed to Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead."
Swift Police Action Leads to Arrests
Delhi Police acted promptly on the complaint filed by the victim's family members. Through technical surveillance and local intelligence, authorities identified and apprehended all four suspects within hours of the crime.
"All the accused are juveniles and have been sent to a correctional home," the investigating officer confirmed. "The murder weapon has been recovered from their possession."
Community Reacts to Growing Safety Concerns
