Kanpur: A 15-year-old boy was allegedly stabbed to death by three youths in Kanpur’s Fazalganj area late Tuesday.
The victim, Harshit, a resident of Sabzi Mandi Lane, Bamba Road, Darshanpurwa, was walking near his house around 11pm when he allegedly got into an argument with Akshat, Raje and Manku, according to police. Police said the three accused were consuming liquor at the time of the incident. Police said preliminary investigation suggested that a dispute involving a girl could have led to the killing. Additional deputy commissioner of police (Central) Archana Singh said a case was registered on the father’s complaint and five police teams were formed to arrest the three absconding accused.
Police reached the spot after receiving information and found liquor bottles at the scene.
Harshit reportedly lay injured on the road for nearly 20 minutes before family members and neighbours rushed him to Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
