A well-known builder was stabbed to death by armed miscreants during a robbery in the Civil Lines area, a few steps away from the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Northern District. The deceased has been identified as Ram Kishore Agarwal (77). The incident happened on Sunday morning. Apart from slitting his throat, Ram Kishore had stab wounds on his stomach and waist. The police have also recovered CCTV footage of some cameras from the spot, in which two miscreants are seen riding bikes.


Due to the high profile of the matter, apart from the local police, a dozen teams of AATS, special staff have been engaged in the investigation. The Chief Minister and the LG residence are also close to the deceased's house. It is learned that the miscreants had also taken the servants of the house hostage. At present, the police have seen CCTV footage of 14 places, out of which some important clues have been found. The matter is being investigated by questioning the guards of the society and other people.


According to the police, Ram Kishore Aggarwal lived with his family in Kothi No-1, Ram Kishore Agrawal Marg, Civil Line area. The family consists of son Vishal Agarwal, daughter, daughter-in-law and a granddaughter. Ram Kishore was counted among the big builders of Delhi. He lived alone on the ground floor of the kothi, while the children lived on the upper floor. Ram Kishore was a builder as well as a social worker. That's why the street in front of his house was named after him.


On Sunday morning, at 6.40 am, suddenly the doorbell of the house rang and the society's security guard Nagesh was making noise at the door. He said that two boys have entered the kothi and robbed them. Son Vishal moved towards his father's room and his senses were blown away. Ram Kishore Agarwal was lying on the floor covered in blood. He was immediately taken to the nearest trauma centre, where he was declared brought dead. Vishal called the police by the way at 6.52 pm and asked for help. As soon as the news was received, all the senior police officers reached the spot.


The miscreants escaped by pointing a pistol at the guard

Society's guard Nagesh told that at around 5.45 am, he had stopped two suspicious boys riding bikes when they entered the society. He was talking about going to the temple. The guard said, there is no temple here, so they had left. At around 6.30, when Nagesh reached Ram Kishore Agarwal's kothi, one bike rider was standing outside while the other was coming out by climbing the wall near the gate. On being interrupted, a miscreant pointed a pistol at him.


After this, both of them fled with some bags. After this Nagesh rang the doorbell of the house. Vishal says that some wooden boxes were kept in father's room. There was cash in them, no one knows how much was the amount. Police sources say that the miscreants took away the huge amount. Investigation is being done after questioning the relatives. Apart from the servants of the house, the rest of the staff are also being questioned. The police is also not ruling out the involvement of any close family member in the incident.


The miscreants had locked the servants in the room

Tight security arrangements are in place in the VVIP Society of Civil Lines. CCTV cameras are installed at very short distance. At night, two out of three gates are closed to enter the society. Despite this, the miscreants easily entered the kothi and also locked the rooms of the servants of the house from outside. In such a situation, there is a possibility that some knowledgeable person is behind the incident. The police have seized the CCTV footage of all the cameras of the society.


A senior police officer told that Ram Kishore Agarwal lived here for several decades. Many years old servants work in their house. Inside the house there are three servants, a maid (aaya), a security guard and a car driver during the day. His servants' room is built near the gate. To carry out the crime, the miscreants entered inside and had latched from outside the servant's rooms. Apart from this, on entering inside, a room was given separately to the maid.


The miscreants also latched on to him. Ram Kishore Agarwal used to get up early every morning. The same happened on Sunday. After waking up in the morning, he opened his ground floor. The miscreants took advantage of this. The police are suspecting that the miscreants already knew this. Police is investigating the matter by questioning all the people working in the house. The list of working or former servants is also being prepared here.


Third death in the family within a year

After the death of Ram Kishore Agarwal, a mountain of grief has broken on the family. This is the third death in the family within a year. Ram Kishore's wife Sunita and son-in-law Prabhansh died of corona in April last year. The family had not even emerged from that sorrow yet another death has put them in deep shock. On getting information about the incident, neighbors of Ram Kishore also came to console the family members.


Everyone said that he was very simple and simple in nature. Due to his works, a road in the society was named after him. A close family member told that Ram Kishore Agarwal is counted among the old and well-known builders of Delhi. Apart from Civil Lines, he has done construction work in many big areas of Delhi. Vishal used to work only with his father. The family is deeply saddened by the death of the father.
