A 24-year-old man was stabbed to death by two unknown persons at the red light junction of Sectors 38 and 40 on Monday. No arrest has been made in the case so far, police said.
Chandigarh police officials said that the deceased has been identified as Jasbeer Singh Rana, a resident of Sector 41.
The incident took place at around 6.30 pm, while Jasbeer Singh was going on his scooter. As soon as he reached the red light junction of Sector-38/40, two unknown persons stopped him and stabbed him several times.
