Police said that the incident was caught on a CCTV camera in the area. The purported 57-second footage shows the group of boys surrounding Dilshad and attacking him with a knife multiple times. The group is then seen walking away even as the victim walks in the opposite direction while bleeding from his stomach.

Police said that the attack was the result of a year-old personal enmity when the group of suspects and the victim’s group had an altercation over some issue. “The crime scene was inspected and the footage of the scene of the crime was seized,” the DCP added.

Dilshad’s family said he was sitting near an eatery when the boys attacked him, after which he walked home bleeding. “This happened close to the street where we reside. After the attack, he walked home and climbed up four floors before he collapsed on the floor. My mother called me as I was at a friend’s house. I rushed home and took him to Majidia Hospital,” said the victim’s brother Mohammed Shamshad, 26, who runs a shop in Nehru Place. The family claimed they were unaware of any rivalry between Dilshad and others.

“The interrogation revealed that an altercation took place about a year ago between the two groups leading to a physical fight. On Saturday evening, the suspects found Dilshad sitting alone and saw this as an opportunity to attack him,” a senior police officer associated with the case said adding that they verifying more details.

Police added sections of murder and further investigation is underway, they said.
