18-year-old dies in Delhi after fight over unflushed toilet, stabbed by neighbors, leading to tragic death in hospital.
An 18-year-old scrap shop worker died of stab wounds he suffered in a fight with his neighbours over a common toilet not being flushed in south Delhi's Govindpuri area, police said on Saturday (December 7, 2024).
Sudheer was rushed to a hospital with multiple stab wounds, reportedly made with a kitchen knife, in his chest, scalp, and face. He died at the hospital.
His brother Prem, 22, is still undergoing treatment and a friend, Sagar, was given a discharge.
The fight broke out late Friday (December 6, 2024) night between the siblings and a family who lived on the first floor of a building in lane number 6 of Govindpuri.
According to police, Bhikam Singh, his wife Meena, and their three sons Sanjay, 20, Rahul, 18, and a minor boy attacked the three youths, when Sudheer objected to the toilet not being flushed.
"Both parties were tenants on the first floor of the building and had a common toilet. The quarrel started when Mr. Bhikam's youngest son used the common toilet and didn't flush," police said in a statement.
“A case of murder has been registered and Mr. Bhikam and his family have been apprehended for investigation,” they said.
