New Delhi: A 25-year-old man identified as Akash was stabbed to death in a shocking incident in Mangolpuri on Wednesday evening, with the entire attack captured on CCTV cameras installed in the area.
According to police sources, the incident took place in N-Block of Mangolpuri, where Akash was seen running for his life before being chased by three to four unidentified youths. CCTV footage shows the assailants repeatedly stabbing him with knives in full public view.
Despite the violent assault unfolding on a busy street, bystanders were seen watching the attack, with no immediate intervention. An elderly man was later seen attempting to stop the attackers by wielding a stick, but the assailants managed to flee the scene after leaving Akash critically injured.
The victim was rushed to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment, police said.
Preliminary information suggests that Akash was a street vendor, though the motive behind the attack remains unclear. Police have recovered a knife from the spot and are analysing CCTV footage to identify and trace the attackers.
“A case of murder has been registered. The accused have been identified through CCTV visuals, and multiple teams are working to arrest them at the earliest,” a senior police official said.
Further investigation is underway.
