Youth stabbed to death
A youth was brutally stabbed to death while another was seriously injured when two groups clashed in Mahindra Park area on Thursday night.
The police said the incident came to light at around 1.30 am when a PCR call was made by a resident of J block in Mahindra Park area that two youth, identified as Nizam, 28, and Devinder, 25, both residents of Roop Nagar, were lying in a pool of blood after they clashed with a group of youth.
A team of policemen arrived at the spot and the victims were taken to a nearby hospital where Nizam was declared brought dead while Devinder is stated to be critical.
“The deceased Nizam was stabbed 15 times with a sharp weapon while Devinder has 12 stab wounds,” a doctor at the hospital said. The police claimed that the youth from the two groups were bad characters of the area. “They have been identified and will be arrested soon,” a senior police official said.
The police was however not clear about what led to the outbreak of the violent scuffle.
“Nizam has earlier been charged in a case. All the accused involved are petty criminals of the area. We are waiting for the recovery of Devinder to record his statement after which arrests will be made,” the official said.
