In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves through East Delhi, a man was brutally stabbed to death in the Kalyanpuri area late last night. Eyewitnesses reported hearing screams and seeing a scuffle before the victim collapsed in a pool of blood on a narrow lane.
Police rushed to the scene shortly after receiving emergency calls around 11 PM. The victim, identified as Ravi Sharma, a 32-year-old local resident, was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. Initial investigations point to a personal enmity as the motive, with locals mentioning frequent disputes in the neighborhood.
Officers from the Kalyanpuri police station have launched a full-scale investigation. They have recorded statements from over a dozen witnesses and are scanning CCTV footage from nearby shops and streets. A murder case has been registered under Section 302 of the IPC, and several suspects are being questioned.
The area, known for its dense population and occasional law and order issues, saw heavy police deployment to maintain calm. Residents expressed fear and demanded better security measures. ‘We live in constant tension here,’ said a shopkeeper who witnessed the chaos.
Forensic teams combed the crime scene for clues, collecting blood samples and the murder weapon—a sharp knife discarded nearby. Police sources hint at gang rivalry possibly playing a role, though nothing is confirmed yet.
As the investigation intensifies, authorities urge the public to share any information that could lead to the culprits. This gruesome killing underscores the urgent need for enhanced patrolling in vulnerable urban pockets of the capital.
