New Delhi, Jan 29 (PTI) An e-rickshaw driver was arrested for allegedly stabbing a labourer to death in northwest Delhi in the early hours of Thursday, police said.
A PCR call was received at 7.16 am regarding a man lying injured with stab wounds, following which police rushed to the spot, they said.
The injured man was immediately shifted to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial (SGM) Hospital in Mangol Puri, where doctors declared him brought dead, police said.
During the inquiry, the deceased was identified as Mohit (28), a resident of Mangol Puri, who worked as a tent labourer, a senior police officer said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Mohit had left his house around 10 pm on Tuesday for some work prior to the incident.
