Delhi Police arrests suspects in Mangolpuri stabbing case

"We were people in the park when a few men came, one of them was from our block. I noticed he had a scarf wrapped around him, so I asked. Meanwhile, two of my friends entered the park. As soon as the other men, scattered around the park, saw them, they tried to attack one of them, Jatin, with a knife. He dodged and saved himself... then they moved on to Akash. Because the park was slippery, he lost his balance and fell on the ground, and the men attacked him. I resisted by throwing stones at them, so they began to move towards me. We utilised the moment and ran out of the park. We stopped at a house, and an uncle began hitting those men to save us....there were 7-8 of them, and all of them had 2 knives each and a pistol," he explained.
