Delhi Crime: Days after Sakshi murder case, man stabbed with ice-pick in full public view in Badarpur; video goes viral

New Delhi: In another instance displaying capital Delhi's deteriorating law and order situation and public apathy, an 18-year-old man named Sumit Gautam was stabbed multiple times in the Badarpur area with an ice-pick, Delhi Police said.

Gautam was stabbed by a man named Jitendra and another unidentified suspect, police said.

The victim is currently in critical condition and receiving medical treatment at AIIMS Hospital.

While the attack was executed in full public view, none of the bystanders came forward to stop the perpetrators from attacking Sumit even as they watched the two stab the victim.

The reason for the attack remains unclear at the moment, according to authorities. At approximately 2 pm on Friday, a call reporting a stabbing incident at Gali No. 9, Mohan Baba Nagar, was received at Badarpur Police Station, stated Deputy Commissioner of Police (southeast) Rajesh Deo. Upon arriving at the scene, the police discovered Sumit Gautam, who had sustained several stab wounds.

The incident comes just a few days after a minor girl named Sakshi was stabbed multiple times and stoned to death by her ex-boyfriend named Sahil in Shahbad dairy area.

The frequency of such incidents in the national capital has raised question over the deteriorating law and order situation.

The LG is responsible for Law and Order in Delhi and has failed to take any any action against rising crimes, blamed Aam Aadmi Party.
