New Delhi, India – A shocking incident occurred in the streets of Gautampuri near Badarpur, where a 22-year-old man was brutally murdered by a group of individuals, including three minors. The victim, identified as Gaurav Singh alias Lambu, was stabbed multiple times and his body was dragged on the road in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The gruesome crime was captured on CCTV cameras and the culprits were apprehended by police after a chase.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the murder was the result of a dispute over a sum of ₹2,000 that the victim owed to one of the alleged attackers.

Two minors, aged 16 and 17, along with an 18-year-old were caught by the police shortly after the crime, while two more suspects, one of whom was another minor, were apprehended later in the day. All five individuals were residents of Gautampuri and knew the victim. The swift action by the police led to the arrest of the perpetrators and prevented further harm.
The two officers on patrol duty at Meet Chowk in Gautampuri noticed the culprits dragging the badly injured and unconscious victim and immediately intervened. Their quick response ultimately led to the arrest of all individuals involved in the heinous crime. The motive behind the murder, a mere ₹2,000 dispute, showcases the brutality that can result from disputes and the need for peaceful conflict resolution.
In conclusion, the tragic murder of Gaurav Singh has shocked the residents of Gautampuri and raised concerns about the involvement of minors in such violent crimes.
