East Delhi’s Kalyanpuri neighborhood awoke to horror after a man was savagely stabbed multiple times in what appears to be a premeditated attack. The incident unfolded around midnight, turning a quiet residential street into a crime scene.
The deceased has been identified as 35-year-old Mohan Kumar, employed as a daily wage laborer. Neighbors heard heated arguments escalating into violence but were too scared to intervene immediately. By the time help arrived, it was too late.
Delhi Police have sealed off the area and formed a special team to crack the case. Preliminary probes suggest the attack stemmed from a long-standing feud over a petty dispute. Sketches of two potential suspects have been released based on descriptions from eyewitnesses.
‘This is terrifying; we can’t even step out at night anymore,’ lamented an elderly resident. The police have increased night patrols and are appealing for public cooperation via helplines.
Crime branch officials joined the probe, analyzing mobile data and call records of the victim and known rivals. The murder weapon, a kitchen knife, was recovered from a drain nearby, bearing fingerprints that could be game-changers.
Community leaders called for a peace meeting with police to address rising tensions. As Kalyanpuri reels from this tragedy, the quest for justice gains momentum, with assurances of swift arrests from top brass.
