A car accessory supplier stabbed to death a 30-year-old rickshaw puller who slapped him over an argument, police in the national capital said Friday.

Rajesh Saran, the rickshaw puller, was stabbed in east Delhi's Vivek Vihar around 9 p.m. Thursday.

"He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries after excessive loss of blood," a police officer said.

The accused, Rajender Kumar, 23, and his 17-year-old brother were apprehended a few hours after the incident. Kumar was sent to judicial custody, while his brother has been referred to a juvenile home.

The officer said that Saran and Kumar had got into a heated argument over a petty issue.

 

"Saran slapped Kumar during the argument. Infuriated by the slap, Kumar went back home and returned with a knife, accompanied by his brother," the officer said.

Kumar stabbed Saran while his brother held the rickshaw puller down.
