A 22-year-old man dies after being stabbed 17 times during an altercation with two people in east Delhi’s Mandawali area. An official says the stabbing follows an argument involving two suspects near a school.
Police say the incident occurs on Thursday evening and that the victim, identified as Vansh Dedha, is taken to a hospital, where doctors pronounce him dead. One accused, Keshav Kumar, is arrested, while his associate is being sought. One outlet reports the dispute is linked to a suspected affair with the victim’s sister, while the other describes it more generally as an argument.
Both accounts indicate an investigation is underway into what led to the attack. Authorities review CCTV footage and other technical surveillance to establish the sequence of events and determine the roles of the two suspects.
