On camera, teen boy stabs man 60 times in Delhi to rob Rs 350 for eating biryani; dances over body

Delhi saw another gruesome murder late on Tuesday where an 18-year-old man was stabbed by a 16-year-old boy at least 60 times on the head, neck and ears for allegedly stealing Rs 350 to eat biryani.

The horrific crime took place in northeast Delhi’s Welcome area and CCTV footage showed the accused, allegedly drunk, choking and stabbing the victim and later dancing over his body.

Police said the motive of the murder was “robbery”.

Stabbed 60 times

The video of the brutality showed the accused stabbing the victim in the face, and eyes several times, and even, apparently, tried to behead him.

According to the police, the accused asked the victim to give him money for food, but the victim refused which led to an argument and a scuffle ensued.

“The assailant first choked the victim. When the victim fell unconscious, the assailant stabbed him several times before stealing his money, approximately Rs 350,” a police officer said.

“The victim was rushed to GTB Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival,” the officer added.

The victim lived with his mother who worked as a maid.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey said a PCR call, informing about the crime, was received Tuesday around 11.15 pm in which the caller said a youth, aged around 18 years, was stabbed to death by a minor in a bid to rob him in Janta Mazdoor colony in Welcome area.

The footage captured on CCTV in the area showed the accused dragging the victim’s body to a narrow bylane, surrounded by houses on either side and mercilessly stabbing him several times.

He then knelt down and relentlessly stabbed the victim’s face, and ears, face and sliced his neck as well as the head. The man paused his gruesome killing for a while and looked around. He then began to stab again.

He also kicked the victim’s head and suddenly started dancing for a few seconds. Later, he dragged the blood-soaked body of the victim out of the frame.

After committing the brutal crime, the man stole Rs 350 from the victim’s pocket.

According to the police, the accused first choked the victim and he fell unconscious.

The identity of the accused has not been disclosed as he is a minor, cops added.

The police, however, said the accused was a school drop-out and is a resident of Jafrabad.

A report by India Today quoted police sources saying the accused was involved in a murder case with the intention of robbery in 2022. The murder took place in the Welcome area itself.

As per the sources, there was a gang comprising three to four minors who committed such crimes together.
