New Delhi: In a shocking incident reported from Northeast Delhi's Jafrabad area, a 35-year-old man was fatally stabbed allegedly by four juveniles. The attack occurred on Sunday at 6:45 pm, according to police reports. All four assailants have been apprehended in connection with the incident.
A video circulating on social media captures the harrowing scene, showing the minors assaulting Nazir alias Nanhe while he desperately pleads for help from bystanders. The locals who witnessed the attack later gathered at the spot and informed the police.
The victim was taken to hospital where doctors declared him dead, police said. Nazir was stabbed around 50 times, they said. Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey said a team from Jafrabad police station apprehended four juveniles in connection with the case on Monday, reported PTI.
Additional details have emerged regarding Nazir's background, indicating his involvement in multiple cases of robbery and attempted murder. DCP Tirkey revealed that the assailants confessed to targeting Nazir due to a prior threat he had made to one of them just two days before the fatal attack. This revelation sheds light on the possible motives behind the tragic incident, as per PTI.
An additional officer disclosed that the interrogation of the juveniles is ongoing, as police suspect they may have carried out the murder under the direction of someone else. This suspicion arises from Nazir's status as a witness in his brother's murder case, adding a layer of complexity to the investigation.
The attack occurred while Nazir was traveling on a scooty near Mangla Hospital wali Gali in Chauhan Bangar, Jafrabad, according to police reports. The minors have been presented before the juvenile court, and statements from family members and other eyewitnesses have been recorded as part of the ongoing investigation.
