New Delhi: Altercations between two human beings can take place for a slew of reasons.
But this one will blow your mind.
A 23-year-old man selling momos attacked his 34-year-old customer for demanding extra red sauce.
There was an argument to start with as the momo vendor refused to oblige. It turned serious and an altercation followed, with the momo vendor stabbing the customer at least twice in his face with a knife.
The incident took place at Bhikam Singh Colony near Vishwas Nagar in east Delhi on Wednesday evening.
The attacker, identified by police as Vikas, fled the crime scene after stabbing his customer.
Police have registered a case of attempt to murder against Vikas under section 307 of IPC at Farsh Bazar police station.
Two teams have been conducting raids at possible hideouts to nab Vikas, police said.
Rohit Meena, DCP (Shahdara), said that the police control room received a call on Wednesday evening regarding a stabbing incident which was relayed to Farsh Bazar police station. The stabbing was reported from Gali No. 10 Bhikam Singh Colony.
A police team, on reaching the crime spot, learnt that Kumar Sandeep, a 34-year-old resident of nearby New Sanjay Amar Colony, was rushed to a local hospital after suffering two stab wounds to his face.
“Our team met Sandeep who stated that he had gone to purchase momos from the cart of Vikas, who is a resident of the same colony. Vikas handed over the momos to Sandeep along with red sauce. As Sandeep demanded more sauce, Vikas refused saying he had a limited stock and more customers would need it. When Sandeep insisted, an altercation broke out between the two and it soon turned violent. Vikas picked up a knife from the cart and stabbed Sandeep twice in his face, causing serious stab wounds,” the DCP informed.
Vikas ran away, leaving his momo cart and injured Sandeep behind.
Sandeep, who runs a small mobile charger-making unit in Bholanath Nagar in Shahdara area, is still undergoing treatment, police said.
