A murder case was registered, and police formed multiple teams to arrest the accused. The preliminary probe into the case hinted that a dispute between two families led to the murder on Tuesday. Investigators learnt that two days before the murder, the three had assaulted Sunny’s brother, Pradeep. They were trying to ascertain the exact reason behind the dispute.

Deputy police commissioner (southwest) Amit Goel said Sunny’s sister called the police about the stabbing. “Upon receiving the call, the emergency officer, along with other police staff, reached the stabbing spot in front of Jhuggi number 146 in Arjun Camp. Local inquiry revealed that Ravi Kumar, Rahul Kumar, and their brother Raj Kumar stabbed Sunny. Rahul and Raj held the hands of Sunny while Ravi attacked him multiple times with a knife. Thereafter, they fled,” said Goel.
