Police said that the group that attacked, comprising at least 15 people, fled the crime scene immediately and are yet to be apprehended.
Deputy commissioner of police (southeast) Rajesh Deo said that the Jamia Nagar police received a call around 9.30pm on Friday regarding the fight. “A fight broke out between two groups and some teenagers sustained stab injuries. The injured had already been taken to a nearby hospital but out of the five who were taken, Mohammad Sheyan, 19, was declared brought dead,” said DCP Deo.
The four injured were identified as Adeeb, 18, Mohammad Sehal Zafar, 19, Mohammad Afzal, 20, and a 17-year-old juvenile. All of them were later shifted to AIIMS Trauma Centre for further treatment, police said.
“The clash and murder happened over a former girlfriend of one of the attackers, Bilal. The girl had broken up with him some time ago but Bilal suspected that she left him because of one Adeeb, whom she had been talking to. Bilal threatened Adeeb with dire consequences if he did not stop talking to her. On Friday night, Bilal and Adeeb met to sort out the issue. Both came with supporters and a clash broke out in which Adeeb and four of his friends were stabbed,” said the DCP.
