BHOPAL: A 22-year-old man was stabbed to death in Vidisha on Saturday night after he objected to a group of youths who were allegedly harassing a young woman. The incident was captured on CCTV footage, police said.

The victim, Nandhu alias Shubham Choubey, 22, was attacked in Indraprastha Colony around 8 pm. Locals took him to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. Shubham worked as an air-conditioner repairman.


According to the police, Shubham had earlier confronted Chunni, a resident of Karaiya Kheda Road, and Chunni's associates, accusing them of harassing a young woman. The matter was not reported to the police at that time.
