Incident Reported Near Temple Area
The stabbing occurred late Monday night in the Subhash Vihar area of North Ghonda. According to police, the Bhajanpura police station received information about the incident during the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday. Officers rushed to the location near a local temple, but by the time they arrived, the injured youth had already been taken to a nearby hospital by his family members.
Victim Succumbs During Treatment
The victim was identified as Mohammad Asif, a resident of Subhash Mohalla in Bhajanpura. Despite efforts by medical staff, he could not survive his injuries and was declared dead during treatment. Authorities stated that a forensic team was immediately deployed to the crime scene to gather evidence and assess the situation.
The body has since been transferred to GTB Hospital for a post-mortem examination, which is expected to provide further clarity on the nature of the injuries and the circumstances leading to the death.
Police Investigation Underway

Officials said that investigators are reviewing CCTV footage from the surrounding area to reconstruct the sequence of events and identify suspects.
Senior officers indicated that efforts are being made to ensure the accused are located and arrested without delay. Police presence in the area has also been increased as part of precautionary measures.
Separate Case Involving Juveniles
In a separate development, police reported the apprehension of two juveniles in connection with the killing of a 16-year-old boy in the Sadar Bazar area of Delhi. Initial findings suggest that the crime was linked to an ongoing personal dispute between the individuals involved.
