New Delhi, March 27 The Delhi Police have arrested five minors for their alleged involvement in an attempted murder case in Delhi's Jahangirpuri area, an official said on Friday.
According to the police, the case involves an attack on a man, identified as Rishab, who sustained multiple stab injuries and was admitted to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial (BJRM) Hospital on Tuesday.
Police said that earlier on the same day, around 4 am, a quarrel had taken place between the victim and one of the minors in Jahangirpuri, which was initially resolved.
However, later in the day, when Rishab was travelling on his scooter near a gas agency in the Bhalswa area, the five minors intercepted him, wrongfully restrained him, and allegedly launched a coordinated attack, they said.
"At the instigation of three minors, the victim was attacked with knives with the intention to kill, while the remaining two held him and assaulted him with fists and kicks," the officer said.
Based on the victim's statement, a case was registered at the Jahangirpuri police station on Wednesday.
Following this, the police conducted raids at multiple locations and apprehended all five accused, the officer added.
During interrogation, the minors confessed to the crime.
The attack stemmed from a previous altercation between the victim and one of the accused, which had led to enmity and culminated in the assault, the officer said.
