The deceased, identified as Ankur, had recently secured a job in Noida after completing his studies at ITI in Ghaziabad.
He and his younger brother, Himanshu, were returning home late Saturday evening after watching Dussehra festivities when the incident occurred.
While walking along Saboli Main Road, they narrowly avoided a collision with a bike carrying three men. Ankur and Himanshu urged the bikers to drive carefully, which reportedly enraged the group, leading them to attack the brothers with knives.
Ankur was rushed to hospital by his brother
Ankur sustained critical injuries and was rushed to GTB Hospital in Dilshad Garden by his brother in an e-rickshaw.
Tragically, doctors declared him dead on arrival. Himanshu, though injured, received treatment and was discharged.
The Delhi police have launched an investigation, having registered a case of murder and attempt to murder.
CCTV footage from the scene captured the entire attack, and authorities are working to identify the attackers.
Police have handed over Ankur's body to his family after conducting a post-mortem, while efforts to apprehend the suspects continue.
