 IAS Aspirant Stabbed To Death In New Delhi

A civil servant aspirant died and another was injured after they were stabbed by two businessmen at Gujranwala Town in northwest Delhi on Tuesday afternoon.

The victims, Dhananjay Tiwari (24) and Shiv Sharma (25), apparently tried to prevent the accused from beating up a security guard after which they were assaulted. While Tiwari died on the spot, Sharma is in hospital with little chance of survival.  The two accused, Rajesh Chugh and Vivek Sharma, have been arrested. According to the police, the victims were on their way to B Block in Gujranwala Town in an Indica car to meet Tiwari's younger brother Raj Kumar who lives there.  They were accompanied by friends Ajit Singh and Siddharth Vasvani. When they reached the entrance to the B Block they noticed two men beating up a security guard.  They were apparently using a hockey stick to beat him.

"The four men then got out of the car and tried to intervene. There was a heated exchange between both the parties which led to a scuffle," said a police officer.  Tiwari and Sharma apparently managed to overpower the accused. Chugh and Vivek, however, were carrying knives with which they attacked the victims.  Eyewitnesses said that Tiwari was stabbed several times in the abdomen. The accused were apparently prevented from fleeing by people who had gathered at the spot.

The two accused are businessmen based in Gujranwala Town. The two victims were studying for their civil service examinations.  They had come to Delhi after completing their higher studies in Varanasi and were staying in a rented flat in north Delhi. A case of murder has been registered at the Model Town police station.
