A 30-year-old man was found dead with multiple stab injuries in the Nangal Thakran area of outer north Delhi on Saturday, police said.

The victim, identified as Mohit, was a resident of the same village. According to officials, a police control room (PCR) call was received in the morning reporting a man lying injured. A police team rushed to the spot and discovered Mohit in a pool of blood, with stab wounds to his throat, chest, and abdomen.

“A doctor confirmed him dead at the scene. Crime and forensic teams were called in to examine the spot, and the body has been sent for post-mortem to determine the precise cause of death,” a senior officer said.

Preliminary investigations suggest a targeted attack, but the motive remains unclear. Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and initiated an inquiry.

“We are scanning CCTV footage from the area and questioning locals, friends, and family members to gather clues and identify possible suspects,” the officer added.
