Delhi Police arrests two teens for stabbing man during altercation over breaking queue
New Delhi (PTI): Two teenagers have been arrested for allegedly stabbing a 22-year-old man during an altercation over breaking a queue at a gurudwara in northwest Delhi’s Shalimar Bagh, police said on Wednesday.
The incident took place on Monday, around 8.30 pm, when Rajeev was standing in a queue to collect milk at a gurdwara in Singalpur, an official said.
According to the complainant, the accused, Sumit Barman and Anuj Thakur – both aged 18 – attempted to break the queue, leading to a scuffle.
During the scuffle, Anuj allegedly restrained the victim from behind while Sumit stabbed him in the chest with a knife, police said.
The accused also assaulted Rajeev’s friend Arvind, who tried to intervene, before fleeing the spot, they added.
Upon receiving a PCR call, a police team reached the spot and rushed the injured to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital, where his statement was recorded, police said.
A case under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 109(1) (attempt to murder) and 3(5) (joint liability) was registered on Tuesday, and an investigation was initiated, the officer said.
Local intelligence inputs and raids at suspected hideouts led to the arrest of the two accused, police said, adding that during interrogation they confessed to their involvement.
Based on Sumit’s confession, the knife used in the crime was recovered, police said.
They said both the accused were first-time offenders, and further investigation is underway.

Real Madrid fines Valverde and Tchouaméni half a million euros each for altercation
Barcelona (AP): Real Madrid slapped players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni with half-a-million-euro ($588,000) fines on Friday for their altercation during practice.
The massive fines came a day after the midfielders tussled when the team trained. Valverde said in a post on social media on Thursday that no punches were thrown. But Valverde knocked his head on a table and he suffered a small cut that required a brief hospital visit.
On social media, Valverde initially called it a “meaningless fight” with a teammate and said “everything has been blown out of proportion."
His employers, however, considered it a significant enough breach of team discipline to nail both Valverde and Tchouaméni with fines that bite even the bank account of a top soccer player. The half-a-million euro penalties reflect the reputational damage the club was enduring in a chaotic end to a disappointing season.
In a statement, the 15-time European champion said its disciplinary action was concluded after both players expressed to the club “their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to one another.”
Madrid added they also apologized to their teammates, the coaching staff and club supporters, as well as showing their willingness to accept whatever disciplinary action the club deemed “opportune.”
Tchouaméni was back training with Madrid on Friday, two days before they play at Barcelona in a clasico. Madrid has to win otherwise Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champion.
After being notified of the fine, he posted a public apology to the club and its fans on social media.
“What happened this week in training is unacceptable,” Tchouaméni wrote. "I say this while thinking about the example we are expected to set for young people, whether in football or at school.
“Above all, I am sorry for the image we projected of the club.”
Valverde was not at practice due to the head knock.
Both players are set to play in the World Cup next month, with Tchouaméni playing for France and Valverde for Uruguay.
Chaotic end to a poor season
===================
The run-in between the players, who for seasons have played side by side in Madrid's midfield, came after they argued this week in previous training sessions. But tempers boiled over on Thursday. Spanish media was rife with reports that the players previously disagreed over the club's decision to let coach Xabi Alonso go after just months on the job.
It was not the only altercation involving Madrid players during training this week. Álvaro Carreras confirmed he was in a “minor” incident with a teammate. Spanish media said he and fellow defender Antonio Rüdiger got into a scuffle.
Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who was promoted from Madrid's reserve team when Alonso was fired in January, will face tough questions on what went wrong inside the changing room when he gives a press conference on Saturday ahead of the clasico at Camp Nou.
Madrid is facing a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy amid rumors in the Spanish media that club president Florentino Pérez is considering bringing back Jose Mourinho to straighten out his underperforming team.
