Juveniles held for stabbing two men

Two young men suffered stab injuries after they were allegedly attacked with knives by two juveniles near a metro station in north Delhi, police said on Tuesday. The two juveniles have been apprehended, the police said, adding that the knives used in the crime were bought online by the boys.
According to the police, the boys said that they were being bullied by the victim, Akash Tomer (18), and his friends for some time and wanted to teach him a lesson. On March 6, Tomar approached the police and reported that he and his friend were attacked with knives a day ago, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Akansha Yadav said.
The police said that around 5 pm on March 5, Tomer and some of his friends were eating at a street food cart near the GTB Nagar metro station when an argument broke out after he accidentally brushed against another boy.
During the altercation, Tomer’s friend Arshil allegedly slapped the boy and grabbed his bag, after which the group of boys attacked Tomer and Arshil with knives before fleeing the spot, they said.
Tomer sustained two to three stab injuries while Arshil received four to five injuries in the attack, she said.
A case was registered and an investigation launched. During the probe, the team examined the complainant and developed local intelligence, which led to the apprehension of one of the juveniles. At his instance, the knife was recovered from open ground in the Bhalswa area. He had allegedly buried it near his maternal uncle’s house, the police said.
Subsequently, the second juvenile was also apprehended, even as he kept changing locations to evade arrest. Another knife used in the crime was recovered from his house, they said.
