A 28-year-old businessman was stabbed to death in Delhi’s Bhajanpura area on Friday night. Police said they have picked up six minors linked to the case.

The victim, Shakir, who ran a shop selling disposable plates and bowls, lived in Subhash Mohalla. Around 9:30 pm, people found him badly injured on the street and quickly rushed him to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital. Sadly, doctors declared him dead on arrival.

Police got a call about the incident at 9:31 pm and reached the spot. They registered a murder case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and started investigating. A crime team and forensic experts checked the area for clues.

Officers looked at CCTV footage and spoke to people nearby. With the help of local information, they identified six boys, aged between 13 and 15, who were later taken into custody.

During questioning, the boys admitted that they attacked Shakir to make a name for themselves in the local crime world, police said. They happened to come across him while wandering in the area and randomly chose him as their target.

Police also recovered the knife used in the attack based on what the minors told them. Later, another section, 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, was added to the case.
