The robbers reportedly escaped from the spot after stabbing them and snatching Rs 10,000 and a few documents. A passerby found them lying on the road in a pool of blood.

Police said that the deceased, Jeetender, was on his way to Delhi from Ghaziabad with his uncle Mool Chand (35) when the incident happened.

“We received a call that two men were found few meters away from Kalyanpuri Police Station. We rushed them to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital, where the doctors declared Jeetender brought dead. Moolchand is out of danger and is undergoing treatment,” said a senior police officer.
