According to the police, the two boys did not know each other, and the incident began when the suspect approached the victim, asking for ₹350 to buy biryani. When the victim refused, a scuffle ensued, leading the assailant to choke the boy until he lost consciousness.
The CCTV footage revealed that the incident occurred around 10:20 pm on Tuesday. The suspect dragged the lifeless body into the bylane and continued to mercilessly stab the victim’s neck, ears, and face. Shockingly, the attacker even paused at times to look around before resuming his brutal assault.
After stabbing the boy around 30 times, the suspect broke into a hysterical dance for a few seconds. Despite some residents attempting to intervene, they were scared away by the violent scene. The suspect fled the scene with ₹350 in cash, leaving the boy for dead. Local residents rushed the victim to GTB Hospital, where he was declared dead upon arrival.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Joy Tirkey revealed that the two boys were complete strangers before the incident occurred. The suspect, who was intoxicated during the assault, is now in police custody.
