New Delhi: A 23-year-old man, identified as Guddu, has been arrested by Delhi Police following an encounter near the Munak canal for his alleged involvement in the murder of 20-year-old Harsh Mishra in the Shalimar Bagh area of northwest Delhi.
According to police, the arrest took place days after a PCR call on August 25 reported that Harsh Mishra had been admitted to a hospital after being stabbed by unknown individuals. Mishra later succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
Investigations revealed that the attack stemmed from a heated argument between the victim and a group of assailants, including Guddu. The accused is a resident of a jhuggi in Beri Wala Bagh.
During his arrest, police recovered a country-made pistol, one empty cartridge, and one live cartridge from Guddu. The arrest followed a brief police encounter near the Munak canal, during which the accused attempted to flee.
Police officials confirmed that further investigation is underway to trace Guddu’s associates and uncover the full motive behind the attack.
