A 23-year-old man was stabbed to death in northeast Delhi’s Sundar Nagri after two men allegedly demanded tobacco from him and his relatives, police said on Saturday. The victim, identified as Abhishek, died from his injuries at GTB Hospital at 1:05 am on Saturday. A murder charge has since been added to the case. Abhishek, along with his brother Sachin and cousin Vishal, was attacked by two men near Shiv Shakti Mandir in Sundar Nagri on August 15. According to police, one of the attackers allegedly demanded tobacco and threatened them with a knife. When Sachin informed Abhishek, he was advised to return home. However, the assailants pursued them, attacking Sachin, Vishal, Abhishek, and another cousin named Vinod. The injured were taken to GTB Hospital for treatment. Arshad alias Chikna, one of the suspects, was arrested after police reviewed CCTV footage and showed photographs of suspected individuals to the complainant. During interrogation, Arshad admitted his involvement and stated that the knife used in the attack was kept with his associate. Police are currently conducting raids to locate and arrest the co-accused and recover the weapon. In a separate incident, a 59-year-old man named Rajinder Kumar alias Annu was arrested for allegedly killing a passenger during a fare dispute in a van. The incident occurred on August 17 when the passenger refused to pay the ₹1,000 fare, leading to a confrontation. Rajinder allegedly assaulted the victim with bricks and an earthen-pot-like object, resulting in fatal injuries. After the killing, he contacted his wife, Kamini Makhija, and son, Laksh Makhija, to assist in hiding the body. Kamini and Laksh reportedly helped conceal the victim’s belongings and dispose of the van used in the crime. The body was discovered by police in the Naraina Vihar area after a PCR call was made. The victim, whose identity remains unknown, was found naked and blood-stained near a government school. A distinctive heart-shaped tattoo with an arrow on the victim’s arm bore the names “Anand” and “Renu,” providing an initial lead in identifying the victim. Police examined approximately 500 CCTV recordings and tracked a suspicious Maruti Eeco in the vicinity. The vehicle was eventually identified and recovered, with the deceased’s clothing and shoes found based on information from the suspect’s family. The van is being analyzed as key evidence in the investigation. Separately, Delhi Police have arrested six individuals, including a juvenile, in connection with the murder of a taxi driver. The victim’s car was recovered from Rajasthan. Details surrounding this case remain under investigation.
