# Man stabs teen nephew to death over jhuggi dispute in Delhi 2026-08-26T23:21:40+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A 19-year-old e-rickshaw driver was stabbed to death with scissors by his maternal uncle in central Delhi's Paharganj on Monday. The accused, Ravi (39), allegedly attacked the victim at his Aram Bagh residence around 7.15pm while in an inebriated state, causing injuries to his right thigh and arm. The victim was rushed to a hospital but died during treatment. Police received a PCR call at 8.05pm and arrested Ravi within two hours. The scissors used in the crime have been seized. The motive was a dispute over a jhuggi. ## Indian Opinion Analysis A property dispute within a family escalating to murder is not rare in congested urban settlements where squatter rights over a jhuggi can mean the difference between shelter and homelessness. Under Delhi's slum rehabilitation framework, possession of such structures often becomes a point of violent contention. The case now goes to a sessions court for trial, where the prosecution must prove intent beyond reasonable doubt. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight crime report with no editorial slant, only police facts.
