A civil defence staff was stabbed to death by three men who had come to attack his friend following a fight over payment for a glass of juice, the police has said. All the accused have been arrested, they said.

Yesterday, the police were informed that one Govind had been stabbed in northwest Delhi's Adarsh Nagar. By the time they reached the spot, he was rushed to Bada Hindu Rao Hospital where he died while undergoing treatment, a police official said.

His heart was punctured due to multiple stabbing, the police said. Witnesses told the police that two persons came to have juice at Santosh's stall on Saturday afternoon. They wanted to have it for free which Santosh denied.
