Delhi Grapples with Surge in Violence: Juveniles Implicated in Deadly Clashes
New Delhi, December 17, 2025 (The Hindu) — At least 12 people have been killed in a wave of violent clashes that have swept across various districts of Delhi over the past fortnight. Police investigations have revealed a concerning trend: the prominent involvement of juveniles in many of the incidents, both as perpetrators and victims.
The deadly encounters, reported across North, North West, Rohini, East, South, and South East districts, include stabbings and at least one shooting. Shockingly, several cases directly involve minors. In one instance in Karala, North West Delhi, a 16-year-old student was allegedly stabbed to death by three 15-year-olds, all of whom have been detained. In Shakarpur, East Delhi, an 18-year-old autorickshaw driver was fatally stabbed following a dispute, leading to the apprehension of two juveniles. Furthermore, a 15-year-old is among those accused in the fatal stabbing of a 27-year-old law student in Neb Sarai, South Delhi.
The victims also include young people. Police records indicate that two teenagers, aged 16 and 18, a first-year law student, and a 19-year-old are among those killed in the recent violence.
A senior police officer attributed many of the killings to “impulsive acts” driven by anger. Other motives cited include fatal snatching attempts, disputes over relationships, financial disagreements, neighbourhood quarrels, and arguments over minor issues like cleanliness. The surge in violence, particularly the involvement of young people, has raised serious concerns about safety and security within the city.
