Delhi: Youth Stabbed To Death, Brother Severely Injured After Altercation Erupted In Road Rage

New Delhi: A 22-year-old youth was stabbed to death, while his brother sustained severe injuries after three-bike borne assailants attacked them with sharp objects in Northeast Delhi's Harsh Vihar area. A senior police official on Monday confirmed the incident saying that one accused has been arrested and the bike used in the commission of crime was recovered. 

According to the police, the arrested accused has been identified as Vikas (22). The deceased has been identified as Ankur, a resident of Pratap Nagar, who was returning from a Dussehra fair with his brother Himanshu on Saturday when the incident took place. 

As per the initial findings by the police, on Saboli road, Ankur and Himanshu reportedly advised a biker carrying two pillion passengers to drive safely, a senior police officer said.

On hearing this, the three men alighted and started thrashing Ankur and Himanshu. One of the accused then whipped out a knife and stabbed both the brothers, the officer said.

Himanshu, who suffered knife wounds on his neck and thigh, managed to rush Ankur to a nearby hospital in an e-rickshaw where doctors declared him dead.

"The deceased sustained multiple stab wounds on his chest, stomach, and thigh. We arrested one of the accused and the remaining two are still absconding," the officer said, adding that Ankur's body has been handed over to his family members after postmortem.

A purported CCTV footage of the incident has gone viral on social media showing the three men attacking the two brothers in full public view. The footage also shows a man trying to catch hold of one of the attackers even as they fled.

"We demand strict action against the accused," Ankur's father Krishan Pal said.
