Delhi Police on Wednesday arrested two persons in connection with the murder of a youth in Outer Delhi’s Nangloi area on Tuesday. Rahul, the deceased was brutally stabbed with knives by a group of four people. Police sources said that Rahul’s mother had got into a heated argument with the accused after she asked them not to do drugs in front of the community toilet complex. This had further led to a verbal spat among the four youths and the woman where the woman abused them.
Enraged over being abused, the accused came to kill the woman but instead they stabbed Rahul. DCP (Outer) said that two persons — Sonu (24) and Sahil (23) have been arrested.
Police said that on June 6, they had received information about a youth who was stabbed with swords and knives. The injured was rushed to the Sanjay Gandhi memorial hospital where he was declared brought dead.
“During the course of investigation, mother of Rahul (the victim), Shyamlata, stated that Zakir along with his two other associates had stabbed her son brutally. Based on her statement, police had registered a case,” said a senior police officer.
The Special Task Force along with the local police joined the investigation. Based on technical surveillance and local intelligence, in the early hours of Wednesday, police nabbed the accused persons involved in the murder of Rahul from Sultanpur Majra.
Police said that when the accused were nabbed, they were still wearing blood-stained clothes which they had worn at the time of killing Rahul.
During sustained interrogation, Sonu and Sahil disclosed that deceased Rahul and her mother used to abusively quarrel with them when they used to come near Jan Suvidha Complex to consume Smack.
On Tuesday, they had again gathered near Jan Suvidha Complex to consume smack when Rahul and her mother started abusing them and they left the spot at that time but decided to teach them a lesson. Hence, they returned near Jan Suvidha complex on Tuesday evening and stabbed Rahul with one buttoned knife to revenge their insult and fled away from the spot. Police said that they recovered one buttoned knife.
Police said that efforts are on to nab the other accused, who is still absconding.
