New Delhi: A 17-year-old boy was brutally stabbed to death allegedly by three local men in southeast Delhi's Badarpur area, police said today.

Lalit Kumar, a class XI student of a government school, had gone out to buy something last night when the three men forcibly took him to a nearby secluded place where they stabbed him multiple times and fled from the spot after leaving him in a pool of blood, a police official said.

"A passerby saw the victim and informed the police. He was rushed to AIIMS where he was declared brought dead by the doctors," he added.

Om Prakash, father of the boy, alleged that one Johnny, who lived nearby, was one of the men behind the crime and claimed that police had not arrested him despite his statement against him.

"It's Johnny who killed my son along with his friends.
