According to the police, the incident occurred on Monday when a PCR call was received by the Govindpuri police station, reporting that a person had been stabbed in Gali No. 10, Govindpuri.

Sub-Inspector Ankur, along with his team, promptly responded to the call and rushed to the scene.

Two additional calls reporting similar stabbings in the same area soon followed, with all injured parties also being transported to AIIMS Hospital.

Tragically, upon reaching the hospital, the police were informed that the victim had been declared dead on arrival by doctors.

In response, the authorities registered a case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Govindpuri Police Station and an investigation was launched.

The team reviewed CCTV footage and found that the dispute occurred when the deceased and two friends visited Shriniwasan’s shop to demand repayment of a

Rs 50,000 loan. A heated argument escalated into violence, with Shriniwasan attacking them with a knife. The victim, J, died from his injuries. Shriniwasan, who was injured, was later arrested at Majidia Hospital while receiving treatment.
