The latest example of how fragile people’s tolerance has become in Delhi has emerged from Narela, where a factory owner was brutally murdered simply to avenge a slap. A conspiracy fueled by wounded ego over a minor altercation cost a 28-year-old man his life.
The incident took place in the Narela Industrial Area of Outer North Delhi. On the night of February 20, 2026, around 8:30 PM, Ravi (28), a resident of Gautam Colony and co-owner of “Chaudhary Enterprises,” was leaving his factory located at , DSIIDC, on his motorcycle, as he did every day. Unaware of the danger awaiting him, he rode out of the premises — straight into an ambush.
According to police, a group of assailants had already positioned themselves outside the factory. As soon as Ravi came out, they intercepted him. Within moments, knives were drawn and he was attacked mercilessly. The attackers repeatedly stabbed him in the neck, shoulder, and back. Ravi collapsed in a pool of blood. He was rushed to SRHC Hospital in Narela, but doctors declared him brought dead.
Following a complaint by his elder brother, Ranveer Singh, an FIR was registered at PS Narela Industrial Area. As investigators began piecing together the sequence of events, a shocking motive came to light. Just a day earlier, on February 19, Ravi had an argument at the factory with a laborer named Rahid alias Rahil over work instructions. During the heated exchange, Ravi allegedly slapped Rahid.
Police said Rahid perceived the slap as a grave insult and decided to take revenge. He allegedly conspired with five associates to eliminate the factory owner. The very next evening, they executed their plan, lying in wait outside the factory before launching the fatal attack.
Acting on technical surveillance and local intelligence inputs, police swiftly identified and tracked the suspects. On February 22, 2026, three accused were apprehended: Abhay alias Hanuman (19), a resident of Metro Vihar Phase-II, Holambi Kalan; Ritik (18), also from Metro Vihar Phase-II; and a 17-year-old juvenile identified as “S.”
From their possession, police recovered two knives used in the murder, a Splendor Plus motorcycle , a Yamaha motorcycle, and blood-stained clothes worn during the crime. The two adult accused have been formally arrested, while proceedings against the juvenile are being carried out under the Juvenile Justice Act. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects involved in the conspiracy.
The chilling murder highlights a disturbing reality — how a moment of anger and bruised pride over a single slap escalated into a planned killing. A trivial workplace dispute ended in irreversible tragedy, leaving a family shattered. The Narela incident raises serious questions about rising intolerance and impulsive violence in the capital. Has society’s patience eroded to the point where even minor conflicts are settled with bloodshed?
