New Delhi, May 7 Slapping a boy for not bringing snacks proved costly for a 28-year-old man, who was stabbed by four persons, including a minor in Outer Delhi's Mangolpuri.
The police said that they have apprehended three out of four who stabbed the victim. The accused were identified as Jatin, Mohit, and a minor boy.
