An 18-year-old named Sumit was fatally stabbed in west Delhi's Naraina Village after intervening in a quarrel that began when a teenager was asked to call an acquaintance "papa." The dispute escalated when Aman Kumar allegedly threatened Aman Singh with a knife. Sumit and a friend, Sargam, who also sustained injuries, tried to intervene. Rajesh Kumar and his sons Aman and Anurag were arrested, with the weapon and blood-stained clothes recovered. Sumit was declared dead at DDU Hospital.
