A group of persons stabbed a man to death and injured his wife in southeast Delhi’s Aali Vihar area, police said on Saturday. The deceased had previous enmity with one of the accused, they added.

The police received a PCR call around 9.40 pm on Friday about 4-5 persons barging into a house near JD gym in Aali Vihar and stabbing a person, a senior police officer said. Arvind Mandal sustained serious injuries as the accused stabbed him in the chest and hand, while his wife Rakha Mandal (43) suffered an injury on her forehead, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Rajesh Deo said. Both the injured persons were rushed to a hospital by the police, where Arvind died during treatment, Deo said.

According to police, Arvind got into an altercation around 5 pm on Friday while taking his son Aakash home from school. When they reached Kali Mandir Road in Sarita Vihar, Arvind got into an argument with one Manoj Haldar with whom he had previous enmity, the police said.

After the issue was resolved, Arvind went home with his son, they added.

Around 9:30 pm, five to six persons arrived at Arvind's residence on motorbikes and attacked him and his wife with sharp-edged weapons, leaving them injured, the police said.

Nepal Chand Mandal, the maternal uncle of the deceased, claimed that Arvind received around 10 to 15 stab wounds. ''Arvind was returning with his son when a person abused his son. A quarrel took place there and the assailants threatened him that they would come for him later. ''When the accused reached his home, Arvind was standing outside his house. He entered a neighbour's house to save himself, but the accused followed him and stabbed him around 10 to 15 times. They also hit his wife on her head with a rod when she tried to save him,'' Nepal Chand claimed. Arvind used to work as a driver and was the sole breadwinner for his family, Nepal Chand said, adding, ''We received information last evening about the incident and reached here this morning via flight. The post-mortem has been conducted and the final rituals will be performed later in the evening.'' A case under Sections 147 (punishment for rioting), 148 (rioting, armed with a deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 302 (murder) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code was registered at Sarita Vihar police station, the police said. Four persons -- Raju Patra (26), Ravi alias Gollu (19), Shambu (26) and a 17-year-old juvenile, all residents of Madanpur Khadar, have been apprehended, the DCP said. Efforts are on to nab two persons identified as Vijay Patra alias Ponchu (20) and Manoj Haldar, residents of New Priyanka Camp, who are still absconding, he added.
