On Cam: Alcohol-Addicted Man Brutally Stabs Sanitation Worker To Death In Broad Daylight In Delhi’s Kalyanpuri

In the early hours of Sunday morning, a gruesome attack unfolded in East Delhi's Kalyanpuri, where a sanitation worker, Anil Kumar, was brutally stabbed to death in broad daylight. The assailant managed to flee the scene shortly after the attack, leaving the victim lying injured on the road for nearly ten minutes before local residents rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead upon arrival.

CCTV footage captured the incident, revealing a man wearing a yellow T-shirt approach Anil as he collected garbage in Block 16 of Kalyanpuri's 16th block. The attacker pulled out a large knife and mercilessly stabbed Anil seven times - once on his neck and six more on his abdomen - before disappearing into the distance. The identity of the accused, Nihal or Gulla, was confirmed by authorities, who noted that he is an alcoholic with limited contact and no digital footprints, making locating him a challenging task for the police.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajiv Kumar stated that the investigation is focused on analyzing CCTV footage from the Kalyanpuri area to track the suspect. Additionally, the police have clarified that Anil's death was likely a case of mistaken identity, as they believe the attacker was after his co-worker, Gulshan. The incident has resulted in protests from Anil's colleagues at Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital, who have refused to accept his body until the perpetrator is apprehended.

Anil had been employed by Metro Waste, a garbage collection firm, for about a year. His family and fellow sanitation workers have been demanding swift action against the accused, while also questioning the police response to the incident.
