Delhi Murder Case: Juvenile Apprehended for Stabbing Man Over Sister's Relationship
In a tragic incident in west Delhi's Tilak Nagar, a 20-year-old man was stabbed to death, leading to the apprehension of a juvenile and the arrest of his two associates by the Delhi Police on Wednesday. The police revealed that the victim, identified as a hairdresser, was in a relationship with the juvenile's sister, which the minor strongly opposed, allegedly sparking the fatal confrontation.
Details of the Fatal Attack
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when police received a PCR call around 9:30 pm. Upon arrival, they found the victim with multiple stab wounds. He was immediately rushed to a hospital but was declared brought dead. Preliminary investigations suggest that the juvenile, considered the prime accused, conspired with his associates to waylay and stab the man, with the attack appearing premeditated as the accused brought a weapon with them.
Police sources stated, "Being upset and aggrieved due to the relationship, the juvenile, along with his associates, confronted the man, which led to the offence." A knife was recovered near the scene and seized as evidence.
Investigation and Apprehension
After the stabbing, the accused fled to separate locations. The police investigation team employed scientific and technical methods, including:
- CCTV footage analysis
- Technical surveillance
- Coordinated raids
These efforts led to the swift apprehension of all suspects involved in the case.
Background of the Dispute
The family of the deceased disclosed that the victim had a scuffle with the girl's brother about two to three months ago over the relationship. Following this altercation, both families convened a panchayat, where the matter was reportedly resolved amicably. The victim agreed to sever all ties with the girl, and both sides settled the issue.
However, despite this settlement, the man was attacked. A relative recounted that on the day of the murder, the victim had just returned from work when his sister asked him to run an errand to a nearby shop to buy food items. It was during this outing that he was ambushed and stabbed.
Family Allegations and Aftermath
The family alleged that the juvenile deliberately planned the assault and targeted the victim, leading to critical injuries that resulted in his death. They expressed shock and grief over the incident, highlighting that the earlier resolution had not prevented the violence.
This case underscores ongoing concerns about juvenile crime and relationship disputes escalating into violence in urban areas. The Delhi Police continue their investigation to gather further evidence and ensure justice is served.
