According to police, the victim was Nikhil Chauhan (19), a resident of Paschim Vihar and pursuing a BA (Hons) in Political Science from the School of Open Learning, they said.

The police rushed to the spot after receiving a call from Charak Palika Hospital about Chauhan's admission with a stab wound. During the preliminary investigation, it was found that the victim allegedly misbehaved with Chauhan's girlfriend in college alomost a week ago.

The incident took place around 12.30 pm on Sunday when the accused and three of his associates met Chauhan outside the college and allegedly stabbed him in the chest, a senior police officer said, as quoted by news agency PTI. The victim was rushed to the nearby hospital where he was declared brought dead, he said.

According to police, the accused and the victim are believed to have argued about the alleged incidence of inappropriate behaviour before Chauhan was attacked.

A case has been registered and the body will be handed over to the victim's family members after post-mortem, they added.

The incident brought a sharp reaction from the AAP government as Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj took a dig at L-G for the law and order situation in the national capital.

"L-G sir, what are you doing? The law and order situation in my Delhi has been ruined. Sir, what have you done to our Delhi? Everyone knows that Delhi Police is doing the work of filing false cases against political parties. It is involved in the work of saving the likes of (Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP) Brij Bhushan (Sharan Singh). What should the policemen do? They will do whatever the L-G asks them to do," Bharadwaj said in a Hindi tweet.
