Two Stabbings and Firing Incident Raise Safety Concerns in Delhi's New UsmanpurPreviousNext

In northeast Delhi's New Usmanpur area, a 17-year-old boy named Abhishek was stabbed to death on June 1, reportedly by a group of five to sixteen youths amid an alleged personal rivalry. Police registered a murder case, collected forensic evidence, and arrested three suspects, including two juveniles, who admitted involvement. Separately, a 26-year-old man named Lalit was also found stabbed to death in the same locality. Authorities are investigating both cases alongside a recent firing incident that injured a child, raising concerns over local law and order.
