Following an incident of road rage, two men were stabbed to death allegedly by two persons including a juvenile in outer Delhi's Paschim Vihar on Monday night.
The deceased were identified as Rohit Aggarwal (23) and Ghanshyam (20). Police said that the accused identified as Pardeep Kohli (19), has been arrested while his juvenile accomplice has been apprehended in connection with the incident that took place on late Monday night.
A CCTV footage of the incident was also doing rounds on social media. In the video the two accused persons can be seen stabbing Rohit and Ghanshyam multiple times with a knife until they fell unconscious and soon fled from the spot on their bike after leaving them grievously injured.
According to a senior police official, the two men were on their two-wheeler when their vehicle allegedly collided with a motorcycle. “This led to a heated argument between the two parties following which the accused persons who were on motorcycle chased the victims for about half kilometre and stabbed them inside a narrow lane near the Udhyog Vihar metro station,” he said.
“Soon after the incident, the accused persons fled from the spot on their bike,” he said. “Police had received a call about two injured men lying near Udhyog Vihar metro station. The injured were taken to hospital where they were declared as brought dead,” said A Kaon, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Outer district.
“With the help of technical surveillance and human intelligence, both the accused were apprehended and during interrogation, it surfaced that road rage between both the parties led to double murder,” said the DCP.
“The knife and motorcycle used by the accused persons in commission of crime has been recovered from them,” the DCP added.
