In a shocking incident in Delhi's Gulabi Bagh, a 17-year-old boy was brutally murdered after allegedly being found in a compromising position with a man's wife. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, has sent shockwaves through the community.

According to police reports, the accused man caught the teenager with his wife in his residence in Gulabi Bagh, a neighborhood in North Delhi. Enraged by the situation, he attacked the boy, ultimately crushing his head with a heavy gas cylinder. The victim died on the spot due to the severity of the injuries.

Law enforcement officials were promptly alerted and arrived at the scene to conduct preliminary investigations. The body was taken into custody for post-mortem examination, and a case has been registered against the accused.

The police have arrested the man and are currently interrogating him to determine the exact sequence of events and the motive behind the gruesome act. The accused will face charges under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including murder.

This incident is not the first instance of a crime involving a cylinder being used as a weapon in Delhi. In 2017, a man in Badarpur slit his wife's throat and then attacked her with a cooking gas cylinder in front of their children, because he suspected her of infidelity. In 2018, a man in Adarsh Nagar bludgeoned his wife to death with a mini cooking gas cylinder while she was sleeping, also due to suspicions of an affair. In 2022, a man in Tughlakabad Extension used both a cooker and a cylinder to kill his wife.

Such incidents highlight the alarming trend of domestic disputes escalating into violent crimes. Law enforcement agencies and community leaders are working to address the root causes of such violence.
