A 21-year-old man who was allegedly stabbed by his elder brother following a domestic dispute in southwest Delhi's Rajokari Pahadi succumbed to his injuries during treatment at Safdarjung Hospital on Thursday, police said.
According to the Delhi Police, the incident took place on June 30 after a PCR call regarding a stabbing was received at PS Vasant Kunj South. By the time police reached the spot, the injured, identified as Om Prakash alias Prakash Singh, had already been shifted to Safdarjung Hospital. During the investigation, police found that the victim was allegedly stabbed by his elder brother, Roop Singh alias Kalia, after an argument at home. The accused, who is unemployed and allegedly addicted to intoxicants, became enraged after the victim advised him to take up work, police said. An FIR was initially registered under Section 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and the accused was arrested. Police said the weapon of offence (knife) and the clothes worn by the accused at the time of the incident have been recovered and seized. The accused is also found to have been previously involved in several criminal cases, police added. On Thursday, following the victim's death during treatment, police invoked Section 103(1) BNS (murder) in place of Section 109(1) BNS. The body has been preserved for post-mortem examination at Safdarjung Hospital. Further investigation is underway. Earlier in a separate incident in July, a youth was shot dead in South Delhi's Sangam Vihar area, with police suspecting that the murder may have stemmed from an old rivalry, officials said. The deceased was identified as Hradesh, a resident of the Sangam Vihar locality. According to preliminary information, unidentified assailants allegedly shot Hradesh, resulting in his death. Earlier, the Delhi Police arrested the accused allegedly involved in the murder of 40-year-old Azharuddin, whose body was found near Khajuri Khas metro station, according to officials. The case was registered under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Khajuri Khas Police Station after the victim's body was found near Khajuri Khas Metro Station on June 8.
