Court sends Councilor Mahesh Sharma to 6-day police custody in extortion case
A shocking incident unfolded in central Delhi’s Paharganj on September 4, when a 15-year-old boy, stabbed outside his school, walked to the police station with a knife lodged in his chest. The injured student was rushed to Kalawati Saran Hospital and later shifted to RML Hospital, where doctors successfully removed the knife.
Police said the attack was planned revenge. Around two weeks earlier, one of the accused minors had been beaten up by a group of boys and suspected that the victim had instigated the assault. To settle scores, the accused, along with two friends, confronted the teenager at the school gate and stabbed him.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Nidhin Valsan, “One of the minors stabbed the boy while his associates restrained him. Another even threatened him with a broken beer bottle.” The incident sparked panic in the area, highlighting rising concerns about juvenile crimes.
Police quickly registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act at Paharganj police station. Through swift raids and local intelligence, all three accused, aged between 15 and 16, were apprehended within hours from the Aram Bagh area. Investigators also seized the knife and the broken beer bottle used in the attack.
