A 28-year-old man was stabbed to death in northeast Delhi’s Sunder Nagri neighborhood on Saturday after he objected to two youths sexually harassing a minor girl, police said. The accused, Salman and Arbaz, have been arrested for the incident.

Both the accused were booked under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The matter came to light after the police received a call in which the caller reported that a man had been stabbed near Murga Market in Sunder Nagri.

“The appellant stated that he saw Salman and Arbaz harassing a girl. Half an hour later, they were arguing with the deceased, after which he saw the accused stabbing the victim,” said an officer.
