Delhi: A 26-year-old man was stabbed to death in an apartment in Narela area of outer north Delhi on Friday, police said.

The deceased, identified as Himanshu, was found dead inside the flat he had been staying in for the past four months with his friend Sumit Kaushik, they said.

"A PCR call regarding the incident was received at 6.28 pm. According to preliminary investigations, Himanshu was attacked and stabbed by four individuals, identified as Ravi, Sahil, Akshay Khatri and Ashish," a senior police officer said.

The officer further said that the complainant witnessed the incident and stated that the accused arrived at the apartment around 6 pm, attacked Himanshu and fled the scene.

The motive behind the murder appears to be linked to a financial dispute, he said.
