Two men were arrested while a juvenile was apprehended for allegedly stabbing two students from Manipur in Northwest Delhi’s Vijay Nagar last week.

According to police, the incident took place around 4 am on Thursday.

One of the students lives in Vijay Nagar. His friend, who lives in Patel Chest, had come to his house. One of them is preparing for government exams, and the other is a third-year BA (Political Science) student.

They both stepped out to buy water from a shop, police said. As they were heading back, they were approached by four people on two bikes who hurled abuses at them.

“A heated altercation ensued, during which one of the men pulled out a knife and stabbed a student in the abdomen and the other in the rear,” DCP (Northwest) Bhisham Singh said.

A friend of the injured duo, also from Manipur, rushed them to the Bara Hindu Rao Hospital after the accused fled the spot, police said.

He then made a PCR call.

“On the morning of July 31, information was received at Model Town police station that two injured youths were admitted to Bara Hindu Rao Hospital,” DCP Singh said.

The students told the police that they were shoved by the four, and one of them also punched them, which started the fight.

A team led by Inspector Ashok Giri, SHO of Model Town station, tracked CCTVs in the area to trace the two-wheelers. “The team examined the victims in detail. CCTV footage from all surrounding establishments was collected and analysed to trace the movements and possible escape routes of the accused persons. Based on this and call detail record analysis, a raid was conducted in the Gurmandi area,” DCP Singh said.

Two accused — Krishna, a resident of Mohalla Khatik, and Krishna Kashyap, a resident of Rajpura — were arrested on August 1. Later, a juvenile was apprehended as well. A search for the fourth accused is on, police said.

“During questioning, the trio admitted to their involvement in the incident. The weapon used in the crime, a blood-stained knife, was recovered,” DCP Singh said.
