New Delhi: A man named Manoj was stabbed to death in Delhi’s Narayana area. The murder of 36-year-old Manoj on Saturday is the second tragedy that has fallen on his family in the last six months. Earlier in May, Manoj’s brother Pradeep was also killed in a similar fashion. Both the brothers were killed just because Pradeep had told the girl’s family about a Hindu girl’s relationship with a Muslim boy. When the boy came to know about this, he killed Pradeep and now his brother Manoj has also been killed.
On Monday, the police arrested seven accused including three minors for Manoj’s murder. During interrogation, the accused told that two minors of their family were caught by the police for the murder of Manoj’s elder brother Pradeep. After which the accused’s family had a grudge against Manoj’s family. On Saturday night, when they found Manoj alone in I Block, the accused stabbed him to death. Among the arrested accused are Mohd. Akhtar, Mohd. Maqsood, Juhi Khatoon and Angoori are included.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Vichitra Veer said that one of the accused minor boys was friends with a girl living in the area. When Pradeep came to know about this, he informed the girl’s family. Angered by this, the minor along with another minor stabbed Pradeep to death in May this year. Police had arrested both the minors.
One minor came out of the juvenile home in July while the other in September. Since then the accused family had a grudge against Pradeep’s family. On the day of the incident, they had a fight with Manoj. During this, he was stabbed to death. Police identified the accused and arrested them within a few hours of the incident. The death of both the sons took away the support of the parents. There is anger in the area after the murder of two young sons of the same family within six months. Both the sons were the support of their elderly parents. But after their murder, the support of their old age has been taken away.
Former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal reached the house of the victim’s family in Narayana on Monday. He attacked the central government and said that today people in the capital are feeling unsafe. He said that six months ago a young man was murdered here. The family had written to the police that the whole family is in danger. We should be given security. The police did not take any action and on Saturday his elder brother was also killed. This is a matter of great sadness. Kejriwal said that the local people told that there are five-seven boys in Narayana, who are disturbing the whole area, but Delhi Police is not doing anything. Kejriwal raised the question that when the family had written to the police, why did the police not provide security?
