New Delhi, April 20 (NationPress) A brutal altercation stemming from an ongoing feud led to the tragic death of a 65-year-old man and left another individual in critical condition in the Seelampur area of North-East Delhi early Monday morning.
The incident took place around 8:00 a.m. within the Seelampur Police Station jurisdiction. Authorities have confirmed the deceased as Ismail (65). The second victim, a 45-year-old man, has suffered severe injuries, particularly to his eye, and is currently being treated at Pravesh Chandra Hospital.
Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and Crime Teams swiftly arrived at the scene to collect evidence. Investigators recovered a pistol and a knife from the site.
Mehjabeen, the daughter of the deceased, recounted, "My father was enjoying a cup of tea alone when the accused, Danish, approached him armed with a knife and a pistol. He attacked my father while his sister and mother were present. There had been minor disputes recently, and I cannot comprehend why he was so furious, not just at us, but at everyone. Danish had previously threatened us, but we never took those threats seriously."
This incident follows a recent double murder in CR Park, South Delhi, on April 18, where a father and son lost their lives over financial disputes. In that case, Rakesh Sood (62) and his son Karan (27) were pronounced dead on arrival at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket. A third victim, Rahul, survived and is receiving medical care. The police have detained Asad, a neighbor from the Tara Apartments complex, in connection with that incident.
During the investigation, authorities identified Asad, a resident of Tara Apartments, as the suspect. He was apprehended for questioning. Police officials stated that the suspect allegedly attacked the victims with a sharp weapon before fleeing the area.
Eyewitness accounts and footage from the scene depicted blood on the ground. The police cordoned off the area as teams conducted a thorough examination.
