A man was stabbed to death with a sharp weapon in the Shimlapuri area of Suraj Nagar here on Saturday morning. Five persons said to have suffered injuries in the case. When the injured were taken to the Civil Hospital, one of them declared brought dead by doctors.

Old grudge reason for attack

Deceased’s relative Balkirat said Nirmal’s family had an old rivalry with Jyoti. Earlier also, both parties had filed complaints with the police but then compromise was reached in the matter. However, Jyoti was still holding a grudge against the victim, which became the reason for the murderous attack.

As per information, when Nirmal Singh was parking his bike in the street near his house on Sunday morning, his neighbour Jyoti reached the spot. There was a heated argument between the two over parking vehicles. The situation turned ugly as Jyoti attacked the man with a sharp weapon. Meanwhile, around four persons who came to save Nirmal also got injured.

Nirmal’s relative Balkirat Singh said the deceased was a resident of the Shimlapuri area. A person, Jyoti, from the area attacked him with sharp weapons. Nirmal’s nephew and some other people went to rescue the victim but the attacker injured them too. Nirmal succumbed to his injuries. The injured include Vijay, Vishwajeet, Manjeet Singh Baba and Balraj Singh.

Balkirat said Nirmal’s family had an old rivalry with Jyoti. Earlier also, both parties had filed complaints with the police but then compromise was reached in the matter. However, Jyoti was still holding a grudge against the man, which became the reason of the murderous attack.

SHO inspector Balwinder Singh said both parties had a dispute in 2023. The man who is being accused of the murder was booked by the police in some criminal case on the complaint of Nirmal’s family in 2023. There was a fight between the two families almost every day due to the old enmity.
