A 22-year-old man was stabbed to death by an unidentified person in East Delhi’s Shakarpur area, the police said on Monday.

They said the man’s relatives, who took him to the hospital, told the police that in the ambulance, he indicated that he was attacked by a “known person” from the locality.

“The police received a PCR call around 5.28 pm on Sunday reporting a stabbing near Ram Tent House in Shakarpur. A police team reached the spot and found bloodstains on the road and local residents gathered there,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Abhishek Dhania.

The man, Dev Kumar, was rushed to Patel Hospital by his relatives. He was then referred to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital in a critical condition where he succumbed to his injuries. He sustained multiple clean incised wounds on his right thigh, the DCP said.

“At the hospital, the police team examined Kumar’s medical report, which confirmed three injuries caused by a sharp-edged weapon. No eyewitnesses were found either at the crime scene or the hospital,” the officer added.

Based on preliminary findings, medical opinion and statement of the victim’s relatives, a case was registered and further investigation was initiated, Dhania said.

“We have formed multiple teams to identify the accused. Teams are checking CCTV footage of the incident,” the DCP said.
