A 16-year-old Yash Gupta was stabbed to death in southeast Delhi allegedly by nine of his friends over a rather trivial issue on 12 March 2011.
The victim was a class 10th student of Cambridge School in Sriniwaspuri and had spent Rs 2500 on a party held on December 3 last year in which the culprits had been invited. Later, Yash had started asking the boys to part with their share of the money spent on the party."When his friends refused to pay the money, Yash contacted their families and complained about them. As a result most of the boys were either scolded or given a beating by their parents. Naturally, the culprits were seeking revenge," said a police officer.
The nine boys then decided to settle scores with Yash. They stopped him in the Sriniwaspuri market at 7 pm on Saturday evening when he was going to attend tuition classes and started thrashing him. When Yash tried to flee from the spot all of them chased him to the nearby Ramlila Maidan and then one of the accused stabbed him.
"After that the culprits fled from the spot. A passer-by saw him lying in a pool of blood and took him to AIIMS Trauma Centre and called the police. Before dying, the victim mentioned the names of three of the accused. And the nine boys have been held," the officer added.
"My son was a topper in class. He was having trouble travelling to his school, which was in Sriniwaspuri, so I arranged a rented accommodation for him. There wasn't any cop at the spot where he was attacked. He was thrashed by nine assailants but no one even bothered to save him," said Madan Lal Gupta, father of the deceased.
All of the accused are minors and have been sent to a juvenile home in north Delhi. The victim was a resident of Chandni Chowk in old Delhi. "Seven of the accused are from Sangam Vihar area and two of them are students of Open Schools. We can't reveal their names as all of the accused are juvenile," a police officer said.
