A 25-year-old man was stabbed in the stomach allegedly by a teenager and his associates here over his relationship with the accused's sister, police said Wednesday.
According to police, the incident occurred on Tuesday around 4 pm when three minors attacked Lavish in his shop in Samaypur Badli area.
A purported CCTV footage of the incident surfaced online.
Lavish, a resident of Rana Park in Delhi, was immediately rushed to BSA Hospital. He works in the office of a builder in Badarpur, police said.
Initial investigation revealed that Lavish was in a relationship with a woman, police said.
"The girl, an employee at a blood bank centre in Shalimar Bagh, has two brothers who were opposing her relationship. A few months ago, her elder brother had warned Lavish to stay away," a senior police officer said.
On Tuesday, tensions escalated when the woman's younger brother, a 10th-grade student in Pitampura, along with his juvenile associates arrived at Lavish's shop and attacked him with a knife multiple times.
All three accused have been identified, and multiple police teams have been formed to apprehend them.
