A 21-year-old man was stabbed allegedly by a boy following a quarrel between them, the police said today.

The police said the boy often passed derogatory remarks and harassed Satish.
The incident took place on Thursday in east Delhi's Kalyanpuri area when Satish went up to the boy to ask why he harassed him frequently.
