41-year-old stabbed to death in Sonepat village

A 41-year-old man was stabbed to death in Bhatgaon village of Sonepat district on Friday. The sadar police have registered a case against three persons for allegedly murdering the person.

The deceased has been identified as Kuldeep of Bhatgaon Maliyan.

Raj Singh, the father of the deceased, in his complaint to the police, said while his son Kuldeep was at home in the evening, Navin of Bhatgaon Dungran Pana entered the house and started threatening Kuldeep’s mother over the victim not working according to him at his shop.

However, Kuldeep had stopped working for Navin around two months ago, Raj Singh claimed.

After hearing Navin’s voice, Kuldeep came out from his room. As he saw Kuldeep, the accused grabbed him by the collar, and pulled a knife out of his bag.

Using the knife, he attacked Kuldeep’s neck from behind.

The victim’s family caught Navin and snatched the knife from his hands.

Meanwhile, Navin’s father Krishan and neighbour Takdir entered the house and helped him flee.

Kuldeep’s family immediately took him to the Civil Hospital, where doctors’ declared him dead.

After receiving information, sadar police reached the village. Cops found blood, the knife and a knife cover at the house, and called an FSL team to the spot.

Following the complaint, the police registered a case against Navin, Krishan and Takdir under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Inspector Umesh Kumar, SHO (Sadar), said the body of the deceased was handed over to his family after a post-mortem examination on Saturday. Prima facie, it came to the fore that there was some feud between Kuldeep and Navin.

Kuldeep used to work at a money transfer shop owned by Navin. However, he had quit around a month and a half ago, the SHO added. It would be too early to comment as a probe into the matter was under way, the SHO maintained.
