New Delhi, Jan 12 (IANS) In another killing triggered by blinding rage, a 19-year-old youth allegedly stabbed to death a man following an argument in a north Delhi shop when he was asked to stop joking around and speed up his purchases, police said Wednesday.The incident took place in Samaipur Badli area Tuesday night, shortly after a pilot crushed a man in a road rage incident in upscale Khan Market.

Naval Kishore was arrested soon after he killed Mukesh, 30, with a sharp-edged weapon, officials said. He was nabbed by a beat constable when the victim’s nephew raised an alarm.

“Kishore along with his friend had gone to a shop to buy curd but started joking around with the shopkeeper,” a police official said.

“Mukesh, who was waiting in queue with his nephew Rahul, got irritated and asked Kishore to speed it up which led to a heated argument between the two,” he added.

An agitated Kishore ran to his home and brought a sharp-edged weapon and stabbed the victim repeatedly.

The accused tried to escape but was caught by a beat constable.

Mukesh was rushed to the Bhim Rao Ambedkar hospital nearby and pronounced dead Wednesday morning.

The case comes a day after four people enraged over being denied a screwdriver at a mobile phone shop stabbed a 17-year-old to death and injured his brother in north Delhi.

In a case of road rage Tuesday, a Jet Airways pilot ran over another driver after their cars grazed each other in the upscale Khan market.

Just last month, a plate of chicken tikka claimed a young life. A software professional in Rohini was shot dead in cold-blood after he accidentally knocked down a plate of chicken tikka.

Last year, a 42-year-old driver of a chartered bus was mercilessly stoned to death because a restless bunch in a Qualis could not overtake the vehicle.

The latest Delhi Police statistics show that killings over trivial issues became commonplace in the capital in 2010 - be it eating from a vendor without paying money, petty quarrel among children, dispute among roommates over keeping keys to the room and using mobile phone to call someone.
