A tragic incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut when a 20-year-old man named Sunny alias Lala was allegedly stabbed to death during a drinking party. The accused, Vishal Kumar, who had invited Sunny under the pretense of throwing a party on Monday evening, has been arrested after he confessed to the crime along with his family members.
Sunny, a daily-wage laborer from Fazalpur, left home around 4 pm on Monday for a party only to be found dead later that night. The dispute reportedly began over who would pay for the alcohol consumed during the gathering. As the disagreement escalated into a physical fight, both men allegedly attacked each other with knives, with Vishal fatally stabbing Sunny multiple times.
Following the incident, Sunny's family staged a protest at the police station demanding justice. On Wednesday morning, Vishal approached the police station accompanied by his family members and confessed to the crime. A police team from TP Nagar police station recovered Sunny's body from Vishal's rented house along with the knife allegedly used in the murder.
The body was sent for a post-mortem examination, and Vishal was arrested. The Meerut City SP Vinayak Gopal Bhosale stated that preliminary investigation suggests the argument over money spent on alcohol triggered the fight. Police are also examining other possible angles in the case.
Sunny is survived by his mother, Rekha, and three brothers—Montu, Sachin, and Rinku—all of whom work as daily-wage laborers to make ends meet. Vishal, originally from Rajpura village in Bahsuma area, had been living in a rented accommodation in the locality for around a year.
