A shocking crime has come to light in Delhi’s Haiderpur area. Police say an eighth‑member gang—four adults and four minors, kidnapped a 14‑year‑old boy, stabbed him repeatedly, and threw his naked body into the Munak Canal.
What Happened
- The boy, who lived in Jeevan Park, Siraspur, was grabbed near Veer Chowk late on the night of June 29–30.
- The kidnappers gagged him with a scarf, stripped off his clothes, took turns stabbing him many times, and dumped his body in the canal.
- On July 1, around 3:10 p.m., a passer‑by saw the body near a Delhi Jal Board water plant and called police.
Why police believe he was targeted
One suspect, Krishna (19)—also known as Bhola—had been beaten up last year by two local criminals, Monu and Sonu. Krishna wrongly believed the 14‑year‑old had tipped those men off and wanted revenge. Over several weeks, Krishna and seven friends planned the killing, police say.
Arrests So Far
- Krishna (19)
- Ashmit, also called Ashwani (18)
- Four juveniles
- A motorcycle used in the crime has been seized.
Still missing:
- Monu
- Mohit
- Both may have fled to Haridwar; Delhi Police teams are searching in Uttarakhand.
Next Steps
Police have opened a murder case, questioned the arrested suspects, and are preparing charges. The investigation continues to track the two men on the run and to gather full evidence of the crime.
