Preliminary findings indicate that the attack was triggered by a financial dispute. Karan Sood, who assisted in his father’s property business, had reportedly engaged in an argument with the accused earlier in the day.
The situation later turned violent when the accused allegedly confronted the victims again. During the altercation, the assailant reportedly used a sharp-edged weapon to stab Karan multiple times. Rakesh Sood intervened in an attempt to protect his son but was also repeatedly attacked, leading to fatal injuries.
Investigation And Police Action
Teams from the police, along with forensic experts, examined the crime scene and collected crucial evidence. Authorities are also reviewing CCTV footage from nearby areas to trace the sequence of events and identify all those involved.

The accused, identified as Asad, has been detained, while further efforts are underway to determine the involvement of additional suspects.
