A 31-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to death by three people in Shahbad Dairy area of north Delhi, an officer said on Sunday, adding that one of the accused has been arrested.

The incident took place near Mahadev Chowk on Friday night when police received information regarding a stabbing incident and rushed to the spot, police said.

The deceased, Narayan Dutt, was a resident of Gupta Colony in Prahladpur.

The police, citing the medico-legal case (MLC) report, said Dutt had multiple sharp injuries on his body. Police then collected CCTV footage from the area, which showed three people assaulting the victim before fleeing the spot, they said.

Dutt was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead, following which a case of murder was registered.

During the investigation, multiple teams were formed to analyse CCTV footage, identify the attackers and conduct raids at suspected hideouts.

“One of the accused, Suraj (20), a resident of Shahbad Dairy, has been apprehended, while efforts are underway to trace and arrest the remaining accused,” a senior police officer said.

The police are also trying to ascertain the motive behind the attack, and whether the victim and the accused knew each other before the incident, he added.
