A man was allegedly stabbed to death by three brothers in Neb Sarai on Sunday after he allegedly videographed them making obscene gestures at his family members.
According to the police, 23-year-old Suraj was a ward boy at a hospital. He is survived by his parents, wife, two children and two brothers.
One of the accused men, identified as Neeraj, has been arrested while the others — Jeetu and Ankit — are on the run.
In their statements to the police, Suraj’s family members alleged that the accused would take a bath in the balcony right in front of their house, and would often bare themselves and make obscene gestures.
Video circulated
After the accused paid no heed to repeated requests to refrain from indecent exposure, Suraj filmed Neeraj making obscene gestures on Saturday. The victim then allegedly circulated the video in the area. The same evening, Neeraj and his mother found out about the video and confronted Suraj.
Suraj allegedly tried to explain that shaming them was the only option left after his repeated requests not to make obscene gestures had fallen on deaf ears.
Meanwhile, Suraj’s wife Tara rushed out after hearing the commotion. Before she could understand what was going on, Neeraj grabbed a knife from his house and his brothers, who were armed with a pair of scissors, allegedly stabbed Suraj several times.
Rushed to AIIMS
With help from neighbours, Suraj’s brother Bunty rushed him to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where he succumbed to injuries.
There was blood at the crime spot when the police arrived and Neeraj was held based on neighbours’ accounts.
The police have registered a case and deployed teams to arrest Ankit and Jeetu.
