“It’s been found that a father and son have been murdered; they were killed by being stabbed with a knife. It was their own neighbour who committed the murder. And there is another family member who is currently injured,” Municipal Councillor for Ward No. 171(Chittaranjan Park), Ashu Thakur told ANI, adding that “police are investigating the incident where a father and son were stabbed to death.”
Soon after, police launched a manhunt. They checked CCTV footage and tracked Asad’s escape route, and later arrested him.
