Two friends were stabbed to death by unknown person in Outer Delhi’s Ranhola area late on Sunday. The Delhi Police said that multiple teams have been sent to identify the culprits.

 

According to police, locals called them around 9.45pm from Baprola Village and informed them about a dead body lying on the road near Das Garden. Police sent a team for inspection and rushed the man to the hospital. The deceased, Mukesh Singh (34), was identified by locals and he succumbed to the injuries at the hospital. Doctors said he was brutally stabbed in the chest.

 

During inquiry, police said they found another body near the park with similar stab wounds on the chest. The deceased was identified as 33 year old Rajesh Kumar.

 

Jimmy Chiram, DCP (Outer) said “ The deceased were known to each other. We are yet to confirm the sequence of events and the motive. Teams are working on the case. We will soon have a lead on suspects. CCTVs are being scanned”
