New Delhi, April 28

A 33-year-old mechanic was stabbed to death on Sunday at his rented house in the Mahindra Park area of northwest Delhi, police said.

Zahid was known to his alleged killer, who has been identified as Ravi, they said. The two reportedly had a fallout over a woman.

Police said they received a PCR call about a stabbing incident at Mahindra Park police station around 4.30 pm.

Zahid and Ravi were known to a woman, who, too, was present at the house when the stabbing took place, an officer said.

“Zahid saw the woman with Ravi at his house. A verbal spat ensued between them. Ravi stabbed Zahid who died,” a police officer said.

Ravi, who also received some cuts in the scuffle, called up police after he stabbed his friend.

“Ravi himself called the police. The deceased was a paper cutting machine mechanic. Ravi is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital,” said the officer.

Police said they would question Ravi once he is discharged, besides the woman.
