A 20-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to death in front of his wife by one of his friends, following a quarrel over serving cold water, in northwest Delhi's Bharat Nagar. The incident occurred on the intervening night of July 11 and 12. According to the police, Sagar, the victim was a resident of Jehangirpuri in Outer Delhi.
It has been revealed that Sagar, accompanied by his wife, had gone to meet his friends at the JJ colony. Since it was hot, the victim asked the accused, Gaurav, to get him cold water. It appears that it did not go down well with Gaurav. He reportedly flew into rage and started arguing, police said.
This led to a fight between the accused and the victim, the police said, adding that Gaurav stabbed Sagar multiple times with a knife as his wife watched haplessly. She tried to save her husband but in vain. A case of murder has been registered and investigation has been launched into the incident and a hunt is on for the accused, police said.
