Man stabbed to death, brother injured during neighbours fight
In another incident in east Delhi's Ghazipur area, a 30-year-old man was stabbed to death while his younger brother was critically injured after they were attacked by their neighbours for objecting to noise and commotion during their family fight, police said.
The incident took place when an accused identified as Saransh (22) was on Tuesday night fighting with his family members, who live on the second floor in a residential building at B Block of Ghazipur.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (east) Apoorva Gupta said that Vicky Soni (30), who lived with his family on the first floor in the same building, objected to the loud noise that occurred due to the fight.
On this when Vicky came out of his room after dinner, Saransh assaulted him and fled to the second floor, she said. Subsequently, Vicky and his younger brother Ricky went upstairs to inform his father Pradeep. "A quarrel ensued between Saransh, Pradeep and Vicky. Saransh then grabbed a knife and stabbed both Vicky and Ricky, who tried to intervene and save his brother," Gupta said.
"Both the brothers received multiple wounds. They were taken to the hospital where Vicky succumbed to his injuries while Ricky is recuperating," she added.
