A cab driver in Delhi was stabbed to death in a park in South Delhi’s Kishangarh on Monday morning, the police told PTI. Following the incident, the police have arrested two men in connection with the murder. The 23-year-old driver was found with multiple stab wounds, PTI reported. Nitesh Khatri was found in a pool of blood inside a park by the police who responded to a morning walker's call around 6 am. His body bore stab wounds near his ear, abdomen, and other parts, an officer said. Two men, Mohit Mehlawat and Lucky, both aged 23 and unemployed, have been arrested in connection with the murder, the officer said. What triggered the attack? According to the police, there was bad blood between Nitesh and the two. Around two-and-a-half years ago, during a fight, Nitesh and his associates beat and humiliated Mohit and Lucky. Although no complaint was filed at the time, the incident left both accused nursing a grudge. On October 26, the two intercepted Nitesh near the park and knifed him.
