Two Minors Detained After Ghaziabad Gaming Café Stabbing Kills Teen

Police say a month-long feud from arcade matches escalated into a knife attack.

Overview

  • The 16-year-old, attacked at a Loni gaming café Wednesday late morning, was declared dead at Delhi’s GTB Hospital.
  • Police detained boys aged 14 and 16 and will produce them before the Juvenile Justice Board.
  • Investigators say the 16-year-old fetched a knife from a nearby house and the 14-year-old stabbed Faizan twice in the abdomen.
  • Officers trace the clash to weeks of taunts during arcade games, with a scuffle the day before at the same café near Naipura Chowk.
  • Reports note the boy was a regular at the parlour and from a working-class family, and the case has raised fresh concern about safety at local video game centres.
