One labourer killed, two injured in clash

One person was killed and two were injured in an altercation between two groups of labourers in central Delhi's Arambagh area, police said today.

What started off as a minor scuffle over intruding in each others' working area last evening, escalated into a major clash with one group of labourers brandishing knives against the other.

Eighteen-year-old Surender was stabbed in the chest and succumbed to his injuries, police said. His friends, Rahul and Vinod, sustained injuries and are currently undergoing treatment at Lady Hardinge Hospital, a senior police officer said.

The statement of the injured persons will be recorded, the officer said, adding that the accused are yet to be identified.
