Family's Plea for Justice
The victim's family demanded justice for their son, with the strictest punishment for those responsible for his death.
"The accused called him out of the house and took him behind it, where they stabbed him to death. He was stabbed nearly ten times," the victim's mother said.
She added that the accused even recorded a video of her son being killed.
A video allegedly posted by the accused on social media shows the accused claiming that he had killed someone.
In a purported video, the accused claimed that he killed a man and will be in jail for some time. The victim's family suspected that there may have been prior personal enmity between the accused and their son, which could have led to the killing.
"Around 9.30 pm, when I went to rescue my son, he told me to go back home. Later, I was informed that he had been killed. I believe there must have been some enmity between them that led to this," his father said.
He added that his son had multiple stab wounds. He further said that he works as a construction labourer and his son was also employed in the same line of work.
According to the police, an altercation between Nitesh and Karan escalated into a violent assault, during which one of the accused repeatedly stabbed the victim. Further investigation is underway.
