Salesman Stabbed to Death in Dilshad Garden Park Robbery

On the evening of October 5th, 2025, a 23-year-old salesman named Viresh Rathore was tragically stabbed to death during an armed robbery at Deer Park in Dilshad Garden, East Delhi. Rathore, who worked as a salesman at a CCTV camera store, was with his colleague Bhawna when they were attacked by a group of youths.

According to Bhawna's eyewitness account, she and Rathore were sitting on a park bench, talking and watching reels, when they were approached from behind by the assailants. The youths snatched their phones and attacked Rathore, stabbing him in the neck, chest, and abdomen. Bhawna tried to resist, but the attackers also assaulted her and stole the bag of cash she was carrying.

Despite Bhawna's desperate cries for help, no one in the crowded park intervened. Rathore, bleeding profusely, eventually succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. Two men have since been arrested, and two minors apprehended, in connection with the case. The stolen bag has been recovered, but the murder weapon, a button knife, and the stolen mobile phones are still missing.

This tragic incident has left the community in Dilshad Garden shaken, and the police are conducting a thorough investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
