New Delhi: A shocking case of murder has come to light in east Delhi’s Welcome colony, where a 16-year-old boy stabbed another teen more than 55 times, slit his throat, dragged his body through the street and danced with joy while committing the heinous crime earlier this week, police said on Thursday. The gruesome details of the killing in Janta Mazdoor Colony on Tuesday night were captured on CCTV, the video also showing the accused threatening the bystanders with a knife.
The accused, who was arrested on Wednesday morning and has confessed, did not have any acquaintance with the 17-year-old victim, who he had asked for money to buy biryani, officials said.
“We have already recovered the weapon used for murder. We are investigating from where he got the knife,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey said. The incident happened around 11.15 pm on Tuesday. The victim was taken to hospital but succumbed on the way. The CCTV video shows the accused teen pulling a person through a narrow lane and stabbing him mercilessly.
“He did not stop there. He was seen dancing while doing the barbaric act. A person tried to open a door to see what was going on, but the accused scared him away by waving a knife,” an official involved in the investigation said. It all began when the victim refused to buy the biryani for the accused, who apparently lost his temper. There was a verbal altercation, which soon turned into a fight.
“The accused overpowered the victim who was 17 years old and a resident of Jafrabad. He first choked him till he lost consciousness and took out a mini knife from his pocket and stabbed him multiple times. He then dragged him to a bylane where he continued to stab him on his face, neck, back, beneath eyes more than 55 times,” the official said.
Giving more details, he added that the accused was seen shouting at people to keep away. “The accused was drunk at the time of incident,” said the investigator. It did not end there.
“We were also shocked… The accused after the whole act holds the lifeless body by the hair and drags him back to the same narrow area. He robbed Rs 350 from the victim and ran away. We have already caught the accused, who had admitted and weapon of murder has been recovered,” an investigator said. “The CCTV footage helped us to identify the accused who was arrested immediately by police team,” said the DCP Tirkey.
