NEW DELHI (Friday, March 27, 2026) — Disturbing CCTV footage has surfaced online detailing a violent stabbing incident in Central Delhi’s Anand Parbat area. The video shows a 17-year-old boy being dragged through a narrow lane and stabbed over a dozen times by two juveniles following a “minor altercation” earlier this week.
The Incident: A “Minor Dispute” Turns Fatal
The attack, which occurred in a congested residential pocket of Anand Parbat, was reportedly triggered by a trivial argument between the victim and the two accused.
- The Victim: A 17-year-old local resident (identity withheld as a minor).
- The Assault: The footage shows the victim, wearing a cap, being cornered in a lane. One assailant is seen repeatedly plunging a dagger into the victim’s back before moving to strike his legs, thighs, and abdomen.
- The Abduction: In a particularly harrowing segment of the video, the two attackers are seen dragging the semi-conscious boy into a small room adjacent to the lane to continue the assault away from public view.
Investigation and Apprehension
The Central Delhi Police acted swiftly after the victim was discovered by locals and rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
| Aspect | Details |
| Suspects | Two juveniles (both apprehended within 48 hours). |
| Recovery | The blood-stained dagger and clothing seen in the video have been seized. |
| Medical Status | The victim remains in the ICU with multiple deep perforations to his internal organs. |
| Police Action | Case registered under Section 109 (Attempt to Murder) and Section 115 (Voluntary Causing Hurt) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). |
Legal Context: The Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act
Because both attackers are under 18, the case is being processed through the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB).
- Trial as Adult? Given the extreme “heinous” nature of the crime—characterized by the pre-planned dragging and multiple stabs—police are reportedly seeking a preliminary assessment under Section 15 of the JJ Act to determine if the older juvenile (if aged 16–18) should be tried as an adult.
- CCTV as Evidence: Legal experts state that the clear “intent to kill” visible in the viral footage will be a primary piece of evidence during the JJB’s social investigation report.
