A 19-year-old first-year student of BA (Hons) Political Science from the School of Open Learning (SOL) at Delhi University has been allegedly stabbed to death by three individuals outside Aryabhatta College, an official said on Sunday.
A police officer said they received a call from Charak Palika Hospital regarding the incident.
The caller informed the police that a student with stab wounds on his chest had been brought to the hospital and was pronounced dead by the doctors.
“A team was dispatched and it was learnt that Nikhil Chauhan, a resident of Paschim Vihar, had been admitted. He was brought from Arya Bhatta College,” said the police.
Upon inquiry, the police further learned that Nikhil was a first-year student of BA (Hons) Political Science at the School of Open Learning (SOL).
