A police team reached Nala Road near Gali No 10 in West Kamal Vihar and found a pool of blood along with a blood-stained knife at the spot.

The injured, identified as Pankaj, a resident of the area, was taken by his relatives to a nearby government hospital where he was declared brought dead. The body was later shifted to the mortuary.

He is survived by his parents and sister.
