One Dead in Delhi Knife Attacks by Minors, Police Detain Several

Investigators say the attacks grew out of local grudges between boys.

Overview

Police say a boy stabbed in Sultanpuri died at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital and three juveniles are in custody.
Officers link the Sultanpuri killing to petty disputes and old enmity that neighbors had not reported to police.
In Mayur Vihar, four juveniles were held after a minor was stabbed and moved to the AIIMS Trauma Centre for treatment.
In the Ashok Vihar park case, CCTV analysis and a tip led Crime Branch teams to arrest two juveniles near Mukarba Chowk, with another associate still untraced.
FIRs cite the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, India’s new criminal code that includes Section 103(1) for murder, and investigators have stepped up forensic work, patrols, and searches for others involved.
