New Delhi [भारत]July 7 (ANI): A 45-year-old man named Mahesh was stabbed to death by four to five people in Delhi’s Mangolpuri area on Monday, while his brother was injured in the attack. The victim’s family has alleged that the police had failed to act on a previous stabbing incident involving the accused, and claimed that timely action could have prevented the murder.
According to Delhi Police, the incident took place in Mangolpuri area under the jurisdiction of Raj Park police station. One person died in the attack, while his brother was injured. Police said four to five accused allegedly committed the stabbing and fled from the spot.
Speaking to ANI from the hospital, the deceased’s brother Mukesh alleged that the attackers attacked without any warning and said that the family had earlier approached the police regarding a similar incident. Mukesh said, “They suddenly came after me. I was stabbed, and when my brother came, they stabbed him on the chest… A year ago, they had stabbed my sister… No action was taken on that incident… They should be punished…”
The deceased’s wife also accused the police of not taking action despite earlier attacks on family members. She told ANI, “When I reached Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, there was no doctor nearby. When I asked, they told me he was dead… Suddenly, someone came from behind and attacked him… A year ago, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law were stabbed. Even then the police did nothing. If the police had acted, my husband would have been alive today.” At present, investigation is going on to identify and arrest the accused.
