A tragic incident unfolded in East Delhi's Shakarpur, where a 16-year-old boy was brutally stabbed to death by three of his classmates. The motive behind the crime was as senseless as it was cruel: the victim, identified as Sachin, refused to give his friends a "treat" after purchasing a new mobile phone. The incident highlights the growing concern over juvenile delinquency and the lack of empathy among young people.
The three accused, also 16 years old, were apprehended by the police after they noticed blood stains near a local shop. The victim was found to have sustained two fatal stab wounds on his back. Police investigation revealed that Sachin and one of his friends were returning home after buying the phone when they encountered the three boys. The group demanded a "party" or a "treat" to celebrate the purchase, but Sachin refused. This sparked an argument that escalated into violence, leading to the fatal stabbing.
The incident sheds light on the growing trend of peer pressure and the inability of some young people to handle rejection or disappointment in a healthy manner. The accused boys, instead of simply accepting Sachin's refusal, resorted to violence, ultimately taking a young life. This senseless act underscores the need for effective educational programs and social interventions to address the root causes of juvenile delinquency, including poor impulse control, lack of empathy, and the glorification of violence in popular culture.
