Narender, a 28-year-old man also known as 'Bunti', was allegedly beaten to death in Delhi's Adarsh Nagar on Friday, 3 June 2022. The police said that a PCR call was received about a body with blade injuries.
Bunti was then rushed to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial hospital in Jahangirpuri. He was then referred to another hospital where he was declared brought dead.
In a fight over money, the accused brothers, 22-year-old Rahul and Rohit Kali, allegedly murdered Bunti. The police say that Bunti's repeated demands to borrow money for his drug addiction from Rahul and Rohit led to this assault.
According to the police, Rahul stabbed Bunti with a blade and slammed his head with a brick in an act of rage, in a lane near the temple in Azadpur village. In a statement the police said:
"Quarrel ensued between alleged Rahul and victim Narender on the issue of repeated demands of victim to borrow money for his drug addiction. On this Rahul got annoyed & called his brother in Mandir Wali Gali, Azadpur village and stabbed Narender with blade & hit him over the head with bricks."
The police have arrested Rahul while Rohit is still on the run. Efforts are underway to also arrest the later.
An FIR has been registered under sections 302 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code at the Adarsh Nagar police station and the case is under further investigation.
