A 17-year-old minor was brutally stabbed to death by a group of five to seven youths in the New Usmanpur area of Northeast Delhi. The incident took place on Monday night around 10:30 PM. According to local sources, the victim, identified as Abhishek, was lured out of his house by two acquaintances and taken to a nearby drain, located barely 100 meters away from his residence.
CCTV footage recovered from the crime scene captures the chilling final moments leading up to the murder. The video shows a group of five to seven boys surrounding Abhishek, who can be seen wearing a red t-shirt. After a brief conversation among the group, one of the youths suddenly pulled out a knife and began stabbing Abhishek repeatedly.
In a desperate bid to save his life, Abhishek managed to break away from the attackers and ran into an adjacent alley. However, the assailants chased him down and continued the assault relentlessly until he collapsed.
Upon receiving information about the incident, a police team rushed to the spot and shifted Abhishek to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
The Delhi Police has registered a FIR under relevant sections of murder and have launched a comprehensive investigation. Preliminary inquiries suggest that the killing was the fallout of an old enmity, and the suspects had meticulously planned and executed the targeted attack.
Further investigation is underway to track down and arrest the fleeing suspects.
