New Delhi, March 17 A 40-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to death in the Sultanpuri area of outer Delhi after he refused to give money to the accused, police said on Tuesday.
A scuffle broke out between the victim, Rajinder, and the accused, two men and two minors, in a park, they said.
"The accused initially asked the victim for money, which he said he did not have. They then demanded his mobile phone, but when he refused, they became enraged. One of the accused stabbed him, and during the scuffle, one of the assailants also sustained minor injuries," a senior police officer said.
The incident came to light after a call was received from Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital regarding a medico-legal case of a man, they said.
The police said Rajinder, a resident of Sultanpuri, was admitted to the hospital with stab injuries, but succumbed during treatment. Following his death, a case of murder was registered under relevant provisions of the BNS, a senior police officer said.
The police said they have detained two men – Raj (23) from Rattan Vihar, who is currently under treatment at Safdarjung hospital and Karan (23) of Sultanpuri – and apprehended two minors in connection with the case.
Further investigation in the case is in progress.
