A 15-year-old boy was murdered allegedly by two of his friends following an argument over a trivial issue near his house in south-east Delhi’s Govindpuri on Wednesday. The victim was identified as Mohammad Wasim and one of the accused, a juvenile, has been apprehended.
The accused were both known to the victim and all three of them are residents of Navjeewan Camp, the police said. Wasim’s parents told the police he had left home in the evening saying that he was off to meet his friends and would return within two hours.
Calls unanswered
However, when he did not return even after a long time, they started calling him but none of their calls were answered. Following this, they initiated a search and while it was on, one of the locals from the area informed Wasim’s father that his son was lying in a pool of blood in a park near their house.
Family members rushed to the spot and found multiple stab wounds on his body. A police team soon reached the spot and Wasim was rushed to a nearby private hospital where he was declared brought dead. “He had an altercation over a petty issue with the accused duo after which he was attacked. One of them, a juvenile, has been held and we spoke to him about the murder. The other accused is still at large and a team has been formed to nab him as well,” said Romil Baaniya, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South East).
