Delhi Crime: A 16-year-old boy stabbed another teen more than 55 times, slit his throat, and dragged his body through the street in Delhi, news agency PTI reported on Thursday. According to the police, the incident occurred in Janta Mazdoor colony in east Delhi’s Welcome area earlier this week after the victim refused to buy the biryani for the accused. The accused was apparently inebriated while he carried out the crime.

According to PTI, some of the details of the killing that took place on Tuesday were captured on CCTV. In the footage, the accused can be seen threatening those around him. The accused was taken into police custody on Wednesday morning, and he has confessed that he did not know the 17-year-old whom he had approached for money to buy biryani, officials said.

Weapon Used For Murder Recovered, Say Police 

Speaking on the incident, Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey said, "We have already recovered the weapon used for murder. We are investigating from where he procured the knife," as quoted by PTI. The crime occurred at around 11.15 pm on Tuesday. The victim was rushed to the hospital but died on the way.

In the CCTV footage, the accused teen can be seen dragging a person through a narrow bylane and going on a stabbing spree. "He did not stop there. He was seen dancing while doing the gruesome act. A person tried to open a door to see what was happening, but the accused threatened him by brandishing a knife," an official investigating the crime said, as quoted by PTI.

Scuffle Over Biryani 

The incident took place after the victim refused to buy the biryani for the accused, which apparently sent him into a wild rage. The two engaged in a verbal spat, which soon turned into a scuffle.

"The accused overpowered the victim, who was 17 years old and a resident of Jafrabad. He first choked him till he was unconscious and took out a mini knife out of his pocket, and stabbed him multiple times. He then dragged him to a bylane, where he continued to stab him on his face, neck, back, and beneath eyes more than 55 times,” the official said, as quoted by PTI.

Detailing the crime, he added that the accused was seen shouting at people to stay away. “The accused was under the influence of alcohol at the time of incident," said the investigator.

"We were also taken aback... the accused, after the entire act, holds the lifeless body by the hair and drags him back to the same narrow area. He robbed Rs. 350 from the victim and fled. We have already apprehended the accused, who had confessed and weapon of murder has been recovered," an investigator said, as quoted by PTI. "The CCTV footage helped us for the identification of the accused who was arrested immediately by police team," said the DCP Tirkey.
