Delhi: A 31-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to death by his neighbour in east Delhi’s Trilokpuri area over a dispute regarding electricity theft, police said.
The incident occurred on Wednesday when an argument erupted between two families. Surender’s family, led by the 51-year-old Surender, accused their neighbours—60-year-old Mahesh and his sons Vikas and Abhay (33)—of stealing electricity from a nearby temple to charge their electric scooter, police said.
The argument quickly escalated, leading to a physical confrontation. During the altercation, a member of Surender’s family went inside their house, grabbed a knife, and in a fit of anger, stabbed Vikas. He also injured Mahesh and Abhay, police said.
