An 18-year-old boy died after being stabbed during a scuffle allegedly sparked by a disagreement over music being played at an event in northwest Delhi, police said on Sunday.
The victim, identified as Bheem Sen, was a resident of Badhola village. He sustained injuries in the attack, which occurred in the village on Saturday. A friend rushed him to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment, a police officer confirmed.
According to police, Sen had a minor altercation with a group of boys on Friday regarding the music being played at a local event. The following day, in what is believed to be an act of retaliation, members of the group allegedly attacked him with a knife.
