A teenager who was arrested on Friday for allegedly stabbing a 15-year-old boy in Delhi’s Seelampur was released on bail on Thursday. Police said on Thursday evening two boys entered into an argument over some issue. The dispute escalated and the suspect stabbed a 15-year-old boy to death.
Subsequently, the Seelampur police station received information about the incident at around 8:27 pm. The injured was taken to Jag Pravesh Chandra (JPC) Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Following the incident, the deceased’s family protested, prompting heavy police deployment in the area. Senior officers arrived at the scene and spoke with the family.
Tejpal, the deceased’s father, said, “My son was a mechanic. He was murdered very close to the police station, less than ten steps away. He worked in front of the Seelampur Metro Station. This is the 10th or 11th murder here, with one occurring approximately every two months.”
Police said the juvenile accused has been arrested and the knife used in the murder has been seized. Forensic evidence has been collected from the scene. Officials said the motive behind the murder is being investigated and eyewitnesses are being questioned.
According to police, the suspect is around 13-14 years old. He was arrested in connection with a double murder in the Narela Industrial Area last year and was released on bail only three to four months ago.
