New Delhi’s Kan hawala police station has cracked a shocking murder case in Rohini district, apprehending two minor suspects responsible for the brutal stabbing of a taxi driver. Acting swiftly under the leadership of SHO Inspector Krishna Kumar and ACP Begumpur Sarthak Tyagi, the team recovered the murder weapon—a knife—and the clothes worn during the crime, as pointed out by the accused.
The incident unfolded on March 4 around 12:18 PM when a PCR call alerted authorities to a stabbing in Karala’s Utsav Vihar area. By the time officers arrived, the victim had been rushed to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. Identified as Vikas Sharma, 36, son of Khajan Singh and a resident of Utsav Vihar, Karala, Sharma worked as a taxi driver to support his family.
At the scene, investigators found Sharma’s white Swift Dzire car, containing his purse and three mobile phones. A slipper believed to belong to one of the attackers was also recovered as key evidence. Given the gravity of the case, forensic experts and the crime team conducted a thorough examination of the site. An FIR was registered at Kan hawala station under FIR No. 86/26, invoking sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the BNS.
A dedicated special team, including Inspector Surendra, SI Umair, SI Parveen Tomar, SI Pradeep, and SI Dinesh Kumar, was formed to hunt down the perpetrators. Leveraging technical surveillance and informant tips, they identified and nabbed the two minors. During interrogation, the duo confessed to their roles in the crime.
According to police revelations, the altercation began when one minor’s minor brush with Sharma’s car sparked a verbal spat that escalated into a physical brawl. One suspect grabbed Sharma and slammed him to the ground, while the other plunged a knife into him, leading to his instant death.
With the knife and bloodied clothes now in custody, the investigation continues as authorities probe deeper into the motives and any potential accomplices. This swift action underscores the vigilance of Delhi Police in tackling street violence.
