A 23-year-old man was stabbed to death allegedly by a local resident in northeast Delhi's Jafrabad area following a dispute over a Rs 2,000 loan, an official said on Thursday. Police said the accused, along with his elder brother and father, were arrested a few hours after the incident. The incident took place at 12:10 am when the accused, identified as Adil, attacked Fardeen after he asked for the repayment of the Rs 2,000 loan. "Information was received at Jafrabad police station regarding a stabbing incident, and upon reaching JPC Hospital, officials learned that Fardeen had been brought in by his father and was declared dead by doctors," a senior police officer said. Initial inquiry revealed that Fardeen and his friend Javed were standing near a lane when they encountered Adil, who had previously borrowed Rs 2,000 from them. When Fardeen asked him to return the money, Adil allegedly became furious, took out a knife, and attacked both men before fleeing the spot. Police said Adil's brother Kamil and their father Shakeel were also present at the scene and allegedly provoked him to carry out the attack. Forensic teams inspected the crime scene and collected evidence. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The Delhi Police later arrested three people in connection with the incident. "Teams developed leads and apprehended the three accused—Adil (30), Kamil (28), and their father Shakeel (58). During interrogation, the trio confessed to their involvement in the crime. The knife used in the attack was also recovered from their possession," police said. "Police records reveal that Adil has a history of involvement in three previous cases, while Kamil has been booked in four," the officer added. Further investigation is underway.
