Out buying Diwali crackers, Delhi teen stabbed to death

On Diwali, a 16-year-old boy named Devansh was fatally stabbed in North Delhi while attempting to purchase fireworks, according to police. Devansh, from the Wazirabad area, had left his home early Sunday morning to buy crackers with friends. Nitin, his brother, stated that the group was preparing for the celebration when Devansh went out alone.

Upon his return around 7 pm, four men approached him and his companions near the market, allegedly trying to steal his phone and money. CCTV footage indicated that when Devansh resisted, one of the assailants drew a knife and stabbed him in the chest before fleeing with the stolen items. Initially taken to a private hospital, Devansh was later transferred to a Civil Lines hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

Nitin, expressing his sorrow, questioned why the attackers chose to kill their innocent victim rather than simply taking his money. The police are actively seeking the individuals involved and anticipate making an arrest soon. Another deadly incident occurred in Northeast Delhi, where a 19-year-old was stabbed to death after three men broke into his home in G-Block, Nand Nagri, allegedly motivated by personal animosity.
