Delhi Police said that the issue was triggered when two juveniles (deceased and injured) posted an inappropriate video of one of the apprehended juveniles on social media. Seeking revenge, the juvenile came to know that the duo who had posted the video were at the birthday party of a person Lucky and came looking for him.

The deceased was identified as Kunal (17) and the injured as Rahul who received a sharp injury in his leg.

Both were shifted to All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Trauma Centre where Kunal was declared 'brought dead' while Rahul was given necessary treatment, the police said.
