Delhi: Minor stabbed to death in Mahindra Park; attackers absconding

A 17-year-old boy was allegedly stabbed to death by a group of assailants in the Mahindra Park area of northwest Delhi, police said on Tuesday.

The incident occurred on Monday night around 8 pm, when the minor stepped out of his house on his father’s motorcycle with a friend.

A group of four to five people, who were allegedly lying in wait, intercepted him and launched an attack with knives, police said.
