Pune: The Dehu Road police are searching for a man who is on the run after stabbing a 16-year-old youth to death and assaulting the victim's 14-year-old cousin. The incident happened late on Wednesday night on an open plot near Sainathnagar.
The victim's body was found in a forest area near Thomas Colony in Dehu Road in the early hours of Thursday.
"The victim's cousin, who sustained a stab injury to his stomach, is undergoing treatment in a hospital in Dehu Road area," senior police inspector Vikram Bansode of the Dehu Road police told TOI. Bansode said, "Prima facie investigations revealed that the murder was the fallout of a dispute over the victim's relationship with a girl.
We have fanned three teams to trace the suspect."
The officer said that the victim just passed his SSC examination and was helping his father in their bakery business. "For the last few months, the youth was in a relationship with a girl from the Somatane Phata area. The suspect, who is the girl's friend, was against this relationship. A few months ago, he had heated arguments with the victim over the same issue," the officer said.
Bansode said that on Wednesday around 10pm, the youth left home after receiving a call from the suspect. He went to an open plot near Sainathnagar. "The duo entered into a dispute over the girl, following which the victim called his cousin and told him to come there," Bansode said.
He said that the victim's cousin told the police that when he reached there, he saw his brother and the suspect having heated arguments. The suspect suddenly stabbed the victim with a knife.
When the cousin tried to intervene, the suspect stabbed him too. "The cousin then fled from there and alerted his friends and family members. His friends admitted him to a hospital and alerted the police," he said.
Bansode said that the police rushed to the spot but found nothing there. "Our 50 men carried out searches through the night in the forest area and found the victim's body in the early hours of Thursday. He had injuries on his throat and stomach," Bansode said.
The police have found a knife and a mobile handset at the spot. "Investigations so far revealed that the suspect hails from Gopalganj district in Bihar. He earlier used to stay at Chikhali and worked in a private company. We will soon arrest him," Bansode said.
