Seven persons have been arrested and three juveniles detained for killing a man and stabbing three others in a clash over a parking space in central Delhi's Paharganj area, police said today.
The accused identified as -- Prince, Akshay, Tarush, Amit Naik, Himanshu, Danish and Montu were arrested yesterday from Idgah Park, DCP (Central) Parmaditya said.
The incident took place after Prince, Himanshu and one juvenile were assaulted by some others near a juice selling outlet in Arambagh after the trio tried to park their motorbike in front of it on September 2, he said.
Sunil Dass, owner of a rickshaw garage at Arambagh and his friends had a fight with Prince and his friends who later came back to take revenge.
Prince and his accomplices felt humiliated and returned with their friends on scooters with knives and canes to settle scores with Dass and his friends, the DCP said.
During the clash, Prince and his friends stabbed Ajay, Rahul, Vinod and Bablu and fled from the spot. Bablu succumbed to injuries at Lady Hardinge Medical College, Parmaditya said.
Since the area where the incident happened didn't have CCTV cameras, police didn't have any video footage as evidence. Bablu's friends who survived the attack described the accused and based of their description, a search was conducted in the area, he said.
Police received tip-off about the involvement of Amit Naik and his friends in the crime and that they will be meeting at Idgah Park. A trap was laid and the accused were apprehended, caught, he added.
The vehicles and the knife used in the crime have been seized.
There are two-three others who had accompanied Naik and Prince and a hunt is on to nab them, Paramaditya said.
