New Delhi, Feb 9 (PTI) A man was allegedly stabbed to death on Monday for refusing three men to charge their mobile phone at his auto repair shop in east Delhi’s Trilokpuri area, an officer said.
Police have apprehended two men and recovered the weapon used in the crime. They were identified as Yamin and Yaseen, aged 31 and 28.
“During interrogation, they disclosed that an argument over charging a mobile phone led to the incident,” the officer said, adding that one of the accused assaulted the deceased with a knife.
When the police responded to a call, they found that two people with stab wounds had been taken to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital.
“At the hospital, two injured men were identified as Veer Singh and Ram Kishan, both residents of Trilokpuri. Both had sustained stab injuries and were initially stated to be in stable condition,” the officer said.
During treatment, the condition of Veer Singh deteriorated, and he was referred to a higher centre, where he was declared brought dead, the officer said. Ram Kishan was discharged after preliminary medical treatment.
