“One person, identified as Akhilesh Kumar (26), was declared dead as he sustained three stab wounds on his upper body. The other injured was identified as Chandan Kumar (42),” Meena said.
Kumar told police that he, Akhilesh and other laborers were doing construction work in Harit Vihar when two drunken men came on a motorcycle and asked them why they were making cement and dust on the road.
