A 26-year-old lift operator was tragically stabbed to death by unidentified attackers in a room at a public toilet complex in the Pul Prahladpur area of south Delhi. The victim, identified as Vikas Mahto from Bihar’s Saran district, worked as a lift operator at a foot overbridge on Mehrauli-Badarpur (MB) Road and resided in a room at a nearby public toilet managed by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
The incident unfolded late on Monday evening when a woman made a distress call to the police, reporting that a young man had been stabbed near the Pul Prahladpur traffic intersection and was in urgent need of assistance. Unfortunately, the woman disconnected the call before providing further information or receiving help.
By the time the police arrived at the scene, they discovered that the victim had been taken to a nearby private hospital by another police patrol van. Tragically, the medical staff at the hospital declared him dead upon arrival. According to police reports, Mahto had sustained stab wounds to his skull, left thigh, and groin. His body was later transferred to a government hospital for further examination through an autopsy.
The police have registered a murder case in connection with the incident. The bloodstains found inside the toilet complex suggest that Mahto may have been attacked and rushed out seeking assistance. Authorities are currently investigating the incident to identify the assailants and determine the motive behind the brutal attack.
The shocking and senseless murder of a young lift operator has sent shockwaves through the local community. Mahto’s family in Bihar has been informed of the tragedy, and they are devastated by the loss of their beloved son.
The police are working diligently to solve the case and ensure that the culprits are brought to justice. They are appealing to anyone with information about the incident or the possible identity of the assailants to come forward and assist with the investigation.
