An 18-year-old youth named Hasmat was fatally stabbed at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi’s Jahangir Puri area on April 5, 2026. The incident took place around 6:00 PM, leading to immediate panic in the neighborhood. Police arrived at the spot after receiving a PCR call at 7:05 PM and have launched a massive manhunt to arrest the four suspects involved in the crime.
What triggered the fatal confrontation?
The investigation revealed that the murder was a result of a long-standing personal dispute between two families. Hasmat’s elder brother, Hakeem, had been in a relationship with a woman from the accused family for several years, which caused significant tension. Recently, during the Eid festival, the conflict escalated after the woman, who is now married to Rizbul, allegedly abused Hasmat’s wife. Hasmat had later confronted the accused family at their residence, which led to a heated argument and a deep-seated grudge.
Who are the suspects and current police status?
- Victim: Hasmat, 18, a resident of Jahangir Puri
- Accused: Dilshad, Irfan, Imran, and their relative Rizbul
- Police Action: Case registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
- Current Status: All four accused are currently on the run
Delhi Police teams are conducting raids at various locations to nab the suspects. The investigation is being handled by the Jahangir Puri police station based on the statement provided by Hakeem, the elder brother of the deceased and the main complainant in the case. Multiple teams are deployed to trace the whereabouts of the absconding men.
