New Delhi: An argument over likes and comments on Instagram allegedly led to a double murder in Delhi on Wednesday. Two men were stabbed to death at Bhalswa Dairy in outer Delhi over a dispute with a woman on social media, police said.
The woman had allegedly asked the victims to meet her at Mukundpur Part 2 in the area. But they were attacked when they reached there, said police.
Police said the girl and one of the deceased used to envy each other over the number of followers they had on the social media app.
A PCR call was made around midnight by a local who saw the boys bleeding on the road.
Stabbed multiple times, the victims were noticed laying in a pool of blood by onlookers. The attackers armed with knives even threatened them before they could escape, said police.
The victims were rushed to the hospital but they died during treatment, they said.
Devesh Kumar Mahla, DCP (Outer North), said, "The girl had called her friends around 11.30 pm who then invited the victims for a meeting. When the victims reached the spot, four of the accused attacked them with knives. The victims were rushed to a hospital where they died during treatment."
Police said they are looking for others involved in the crime.
