Student stabbed to death in Delhi

A 19-year-old Class 11 student was allegedly stabbed to death following a quarrel with a group of youngsters in Delhi’s Kalkaji on Sunday afternoon, police said.

The incident took place near a park in B Block of DDA Flats in Kalkaji. Police received a PCR call about a quarrel involving school students at 2.23 pm and rushed to the spot, where they found the victim lying with stab injuries. A CATS ambulance reached the scene, administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and then shifted the injured youth to the AIIMS Trauma Centre. However, doctors declared him dead on arrival.

The deceased was identified as Saiyed Husain (19), a resident of JJ Camp in Okhla Phase-II. Police said Husain was a Class 11 student at an MCD school in Kalkaji. Preliminary investigation suggests that Husain was stabbed during a quarrel involving two to three persons. “The victim sustained stab injuries during an altercation. The accused have been identified and efforts are underway to trace and apprehend them at the earliest,” a senior police officer said. Police said multiple teams have been formed to arrest the suspects.

A case has been registered and investigators are examining CCTV footage from the area and questioning witnesses to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the fatal attack. The motive behind the killing is yet to be established. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination, and further investigation is underway, he added.
