A 21-year-old man named Karan was fatally stabbed in Delhi's Vasant Kunj over a dispute about lighting a 'bidi'. His cousin claims a minor was behind the attack. Allegations arose from both sides, and Karan suffered a neck injury, leading to his death. Police are investigating the case.

A young man, aged 21, lost his life in a fatal stabbing incident in Delhi's Vasant Kunj, as confirmed by officials on Wednesday. The victim, Karan, reportedly engaged in a verbal spat over the act of lighting a 'bidi', which rapidly escalated into violence, according to the police.

Witnesses, including Karan's cousin, indicate that the conflict arose when Karan went out to make a purchase, leading to an altercation with local residents. During this confrontation, a 15-year-old boy allegedly stabbed Karan. Despite efforts to rush him to the hospital, he was declared dead upon arrival.

The accused's family provides a different narrative, stating that Karan attempted to assault their household members, prompting an act of self-defense by the minor. Law enforcement has registered a murder case and is actively investigating to apprehend the suspect, as stated by police authorities.
