A 22-year-old man, identified as Mohit, was allegedly stabbed to death after attending a birthday party in Ghaziabad's Crossing Republic area late on Wednesday night.

The victim was attacked in New Shanti Nagar and later rushed to hospital, where doctors declared him dead, according to a report by Jagran.
Family accuses friends of planning attack
According to Mohit's family, he had a dispute with a group of young men around 20 days ago. Although both sides later settled the matter and even travelled together to Khatu Shyam and Haridwar, the family believes the accused had secretly planned to kill him.
Mohit's brother, Manish, alleged that the suspects invited him to a birthday party on Wednesday night. He claimed that at around 2.30 am, Mohit was repeatedly stabbed with a knife during the gathering.
