A 23-year-old youth was repeatedly stabbed inside a government school in Trilokpuri following an altercation with the brother of the accused, the Delhi Police said on Wednesday.

According to the police, the incident occurred on Saturday evening when Rohit was sitting with two of his friends inside the government school.

“Rohit was first taken to LBS Hospital and then shifted to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where he is currently undergoing treatment,” said Abhishek Dhania, Deputy Commissioner of Police.

A case was registered at the Mayur Vihar police station and a special team was formed to identify and trace the culprits.

The officer said an eyewitness and local intelligence helped identify the attackers as Rajeev (19), Vijay (27), Akash (27), and Aniket, who were all residents of Trilokpuri leading to the arrest of Rajeev, Vijay, and Akash .

During interrogation, Rajeev admitted to stabbing the victim to avenge a quarrel between his brother Nihal and Rohit a day earlier. After his disclosure, the knife used in the crime was recovered from bushes near the Mayur Vihar Extension flyover.

As the fourth accused, Aniket, is still at large, the team has intensified efforts to track his movement and get their hands on him. Dhania added.
