Migrant Worker Stabbed to Death in Delhi Subway; Suspect Arrested, Motive UnclearPreviousNext

A 62-year-old migrant worker, Champai Ho from Jharkhand, was stabbed to death in the Dhaula Kuan subway in south Delhi on Thursday morning. Police arrested 48-year-old Anil Mandal, a homeless man from Bihar, identified via CCTV footage near the crime scene. Ho and Mandal were strangers, and the motive remains unclear. The incident has raised concerns about the safety and security measures in Delhi's pedestrian subways, which often lack adequate surveillance and patrolling.
