New Delhi [India], August 16 (ANI): A 24-year-old delivery worker was stabbed to death in southwest Delhi’s Vikaspuri area late Friday night following a drunken quarrel over a money dispute, police said.
The deceased, identified as Ashish Verma, a resident of Bhudella village, was attacked around 12:20 am by two neighbours during an altercation.

According to the medico-legal case (MLC), Ashish sustained a deep incised stab wound on the left side of his chest. His body has been preserved in the mortuary for a post-mortem. A crime team also inspected the scene.
Police said the attack was carried out by Bhajan Lal (32) and Rakesh (30), residents of Deepak Vihar, Nilothi Extension. Ashish’s mother alleged in her statement that the accused, who were drinking, stabbed her son during a heated argument over a financial dispute.
Both accused have since been apprehended. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, and further investigation is underway, officials confirmed.
