Elderly man found dead in South Delhi, police suspect pre-planned murder

A 64-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to death on Wednesday in Delhi’s posh Panchsheel Park area, police said.

The man, identified as Rohit Kumar, was found lying unconscious in a pool of blood in his home, following which a police team reached the spot.

Kumar was a businessman and used to stay with his family in a three-storey building in Panchsheel Park.

A 64-year-old man, Rohit Kumar, was found dead in his home in Delhi.

According to the Delhi Police, the incident came to light after a car cleaner knocked on Kumar’s room seeking keys but did not get any response.

When Kumar’s son living in the next room opened the door, he found his father lying on the floor, police said, adding that nothing was stolen from the room.

“Prima facie, it seems to be a case of pre-planned murder. The role of everyone is being verified,” a Delhi Police official said.

After the incident, a complaint was filed by Kumar’s son following which an FIR was lodged under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Several police teams have been constituted by Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan to arrest the accused involved in the case.

A forensic team of Delhi Police inspected the spot and found blood stains and footprints on the floor.

Earlier in August this year, a 72-year-old man retired from MTNL as a mechanic was stabbed to death by two assailants at his residence in East Delhi’s New Ashok Nagar, police said.
