Man stabbed to death, sister among 2 injured

A 29-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to death while two others, including his sister, were injured in west Delhi’s Khyala area on Monday, the police said. The deceased has been identified as Kawaljeet Singh. His sister Baljeet Kaur (23) and Kamal Kumar (47) suffered injuries in the attack.

A senior police officer said about four months ago, a local youth allegedly abused Baljeet Kaur. In retaliation, Kawaljeet had slapped him, which led to tension between them.

Around 3:15 am on Sunday, a PCR call was received from the hospital informing that a man had succumbed to multiple stab wounds during treatment, the officer said.

During investigation, the police recorded Baljeet’s statement. She claimed that her brother was repeatedly stabbed by two attackers near their residence. When she and Kamal tried to intervene, the assailants attacked them as well and fled, he said. A case was registered. “A minor was apprehended. Teams have been formed to trace and arrest the remaining co-accused,” the officer said.
