दिल्ली: एक्स्ट्रा छोले मांगे तो ठेले वाले ने 7 बार चाकू से गोदकर कर दिया क़त्ल
In the Paschim Vihar area of Delhi, a street vendor stabbed a 35-year-old customer to death following a dispute over the quantity of chole (chickpea curry) packed for him. According to the police, the incident occurred on Sunday night. The victim, Sandeep—a resident of Nihal Vihar—worked as a driver for a private company.
How did the dispute begin?
Sandeep had eaten at a chole-bhature stall in the market and subsequently ordered a portion to be packed for his son and daughter. Finding the amount of chole in the packet insufficient, he asked the stall owner, Chintu Gupta, to add more.
According to the police, this led to an argument between the two, which soon escalated into a physical altercation. It is alleged that during this scuffle, Chintu stabbed Sandeep multiple times—seven times in total, with three of the blows landing in his abdomen. Bystanders attempted to intervene, but by then, Sandeep was already drenched in blood.
Death during treatment
Sandeep’s father, Brijesh Singh, arrived at the stall and, upon finding his son severely wounded, rushed him to the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital. He was later shifted to Maharaja Agrasen Hospital in Punjabi Bagh. Sandeep passed away on Wednesday while undergoing treatment.
Sandeep’s father, Brijesh, told the media that he found his son lying in a pool of blood near the food stall. “He told me that five or six people had stabbed him,” Brijesh said. “I don’t understand why the police have arrested only one person. At this age, I am now forced to carry the body of my own son.”
The police have arrested the vendor, and charges of murder have been added to the case registered against him. The police state that the victim was not in a condition to provide a statement. The police are currently conducting further investigation into the matter.
