On Thursday, police received a call about the stabbing of a man near gate number 3 of Begumpur’s DDA Market, the police said. He was rushed to the AIIMS trauma centre, where he died, they said.
Mayank’s friend, Vikas Panwar, told police that the two of them were sitting at Quila Begumpur in Malviya Nagar when a group of men picked an argument with Mayank, the police said. After the argument, the men left but returned soon after and pelted stones at them. Mayank and Vikas tried to flee but the men chased Mayank and stabbed him, they said.
During the investigation, police checked CCTV footage of the area. The accused were identified with the help of CCTV footage and local intelligence, they said.
