19-year-old man was stabbed to death on Thursday morning, allegedly by his friend, following an altercatio­n that began when the man refused to take his friend for shopping on his scooter and verbally abused him, police said.

The accused, identified as Yogesh, was arrested and the knife he used to kill Dipak alias Balli was recovered. Police said the altercatio­n took place on Wednesday evening when Dipak turned down Yogesh’s request to take him to Tibetan market near Kashmere Gate on his scooter for purchasing clothes.

“During the argument, both abused each other and a fight broke out between them. When Yogesh’s parents learnt about the altercatio­n, they intervened and beat up their son in full public view. Yogesh felt humiliated and he decided to teach Dipak a lesson,” Aslam Khan, deputy commission­er of police said.
