Three men were arrested for allegedly stabbing to death a 21-year-old youth in northeast Delhi's Sunder Nagri area, police said on Sunday.

The accused have been identified as Aalam, Bilal, and Faizan, all of them residents of Sunder Nagri. All three have been booked for murder, they said. Police said the three killed the victim due to an old rivalry. Police force has been deployed in the area to ward off any more confrontation, they said. The incident that took place on Saturday was captured on a CCTV camera.

In the footage, three youths are seen walking down a lane and accosting Manish who is coming from the opposite direction.

The footage further shows one of the three grabbing Manish by his collar and slapping him. Other two too join him soon, and progress to stabbing Manish with knives multiple times. The stabbing took place in full view of the people, who watched the scene from afar or walked on even as the three youths kept knifing the victim. According to the police, they were informed about the stabbing around 7.40 pm Saturday.

The victim was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead. "We received a PCR call from locals about the stabbing on Saturday evening. A team rushed to the spot and found that the victim was taken to the hospital.

"He was declared brought dead by the doctors. During the preliminary inquiry, three men were identified and arrested. Legal action has been initiated and further investigation is in progress,'' Sanjay Sain, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North East) said.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police in a tweet said the matter was not communal and appealed to the public to not give credence to social media rumours.

"The matter is not communal. Peace has been maintained in the area. Some people are spreading misleading facts on social media regarding the matter. Action can be taken by Delhi Police against such people," the tweet read.
