According to Delhi Police, the victim, Asif Qureshi, was attacked with a sharp, pointed object (a poker) after he asked two men to remove their scooter parked near the main entrance of his house.

The argument escalated into a fatal confrontation. The two men went away at the time of the confrontation but threatened Asif Qureshi that they would return. True to their word they returned after some time with the sharp poker and attacked him with it.

The police received information around 10:30 pm on August 7. Upon reaching the spot, they found Asif gravely injured and bleeding profusely. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries.

An FIR (No. 233/25) has been registered under Sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

The accused, identified as Ujjwal (19) and Gautam (18), both sons of Dinesh and residents of the same locality, Church Lane, Bhogal, have been apprehended. The murder weapon has been recovered.

Police said, “During the altercation, one of the accused attacked the victim on the chest with a sharp object, resulting in his death. The investigation is ongoing.”

His wife, Sainaz Qureshi, informed the police that the same neighbours had argued with him earlier over the parking issue. She said that on Thursday night, when Asif returned home from work, he noticed their two-wheeler parked in front of the main entrance of their house. He asked them to move it, but instead of doing so, the neighbours began shouting at him and then attacked him with sharp weapons, she alleged.
