New Delhi, Aug 9 (IANS): A 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death by two unidentified people here, police said Saturday.
Idu, a resident of Bihar, was attacked around 12.30 a.m. Saturday by the accused after he had a heated argument with them over some issue in Sadar Bazar area of north Delhi.
"Idu's throat was slashed with a sharp edged weapon. We are yet to ascertain the reason behind the murder," said Deputy Commissioner of Police Madhur Verma.
A case of murder has been registered against the two accused, who are absconding.
