During investigation, police were informed that Saif was roaming around with two of his friends in a park when the accused, identified as Rizwan alias Kallan and Asad alias Billa, called him to settle an old dispute the victim had with Asad. Both the accused then quarrelled with the victim and stabbed him in the stomach after which they fled.
Further probe revealed that the dispute was about a girl who was earlier friends with Asad but then she broke up with him and became friends with Saif, which Asad didn’t like. Accused Asad had allegedly threatened the girl that if she did not break up with Saif, then he would kill Saif.
The DCP said that a case under Section 302 (punishment for murder) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered and teams have been formed to look for the absconding accused.
