A 47-year-old farmer was stabbed to death and another suffered injuries after being attacked allegedly by their neighbour in southwest Delhi’s Jaffarpur Kalan, police said on Tuesday.
The accused, identified as Vinod, suspected that the victim had performed ”black magic” on him, they said.
The incident took place on Monday.
Sunil was stabbed to death by Vinod, his neighbour. Another neighbour, Rajpal, tried to save Sunil and suffered stab injuries. He is undergoing treatment, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) M Harsha Vardhan said.
A case under sections 302 (murder) and 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code was registered at Jaffarpur Kalan police station and Vinod, a resident of Surhera village, was arrested, Vardhan said.
