New Delhi, Jan 22 (IANS) A 25-year-old man was stabbed to death in Delhi’s Mangolpuri area, police said on Thursday, marking yet another violent incident reported from the national capital in recent days.

The incident took place on Wednesday, and the victim has been identified as Akash. Police officials said the accused has been identified, and teams are making sustained efforts to trace and apprehend him.

An investigation is currently underway, and further details are awaited.
