The incident comes barely a week after an e-rickshaw driver was allegedly beaten to death after he stopped two youths from urinating in public in Delhi.
Two people have been arrested by the police for allegedly stabbing to death a 21-year-old caretaker of a public toilet after he objected to their taking drugs inside the toilet.
The incident comes barely a week after an e-rickshaw driver was allegedly beaten to death after he stopped two youths from urinating in public in northwest Delhi.
Twenty one-year-old Rahul and his mother Shyamalata were caretakers of two public toilets in Delhi's Nangloi area.
According to Shyamalata's statement to police, she saw three youngsters taking drugs inside a public toilet. She asked them not to do so following which they left the spot but not before threatening her with dire consequences.
A few minutes later, the three youngsters returned to the spot and attacked Shyamlata. When Rahul tried to save his mother, the trio stabbed him repeatedly.
A bleeding Rahul was taken to a nearby hospital on an e-rickshaw where the doctors declared him brought dead.
Police have filed a case of murder against the accused and have arrested two of the accused. They have been identified as Salman alias Babu and Shahid. Police have also recovered the weapon of crime--a knife--from them.
