A 20-year-old man was killed in a knife attack by a mob in northwest Delhi’s Jahangirpuri area, with two police head constables suffering injuries while trying to rescue him, an officer said on Sunday.
The incident took place around 8 pm on Saturday. A team from the local police station found the victim, Irfan, in an injured state in B block of the locality.
Irfan, a local, was taken to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.
According to the police, head constables Krishan and Sohan Lal were on beat patrol near Kali Mata Mandir when they noticed a group of people assaulting Irfan and rushed to intervene.
