Delhi man stabbed to death after he refuses to give beedi to two
New Delhi, Apr 22 (PTI): A youth was stabbed to death after he refused to give a beedi to two men in the Pul Prahladpur area of southeast Delhi, police said on Tuesday.
The youth's elder brother and a friend were injured in the incident that took place late on Monday night. Three people have been arrested in connection with the incident, police said.
On Monday, Sohaib was slapped in a park by two local men, Munna and Sunny, after he refused to give them a beedi, officials said.
Sohaib went home and told his mother, Sabukta, about it. Then Sabukta, along with Sohaib and his elder brother Mohsin, went to confront the two men. Sohaib also called his friend Akram there, they said.
The confrontation turned violent as Munna (26), along with his brother Imtiyaz (30) and nephew Sunny (20), allegedly attacked Sohaib and those accompanying him with knives, police said.
The injured were rushed to ESI Hospital where doctors declared Sohaib, who was stabbed multiple times and collapsed on the road, brought dead. Mohsin was later shifted to Safdarjung Hospital in a critical condition. Akram sustained minor injuries, they said.
"An FIR was registered in the matter and multiple teams were formed to nab the three accused. The accused -- Firoz alias Munna, Imtiyaz and Saudagar alias Sunny -- have been arrested," an officer said.
Two blood-stained knives were also recovered from their possession, he said.
Sabukta said her son's only fault was that he refused beedi to the accused.
"The accused first slapped him and fled. We went to their home to sort out the entire matter. One of the accused, who was holding a knife, stabbed Sohaib and his elder brother Mohsin. Sohaib was trying to run away when the accused caught him and stabbed him again," she said.
Sohaib's sister Sahana demanded justice for her family.
"We want justice and strict action against the culprits," she said.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
