New Delhi  :  A 45-year-old man was stabbed to death by his friend after a heated argument over Rs.100 here, police said Friday. The incident was reported Thursday around 10.30 p.m. in west Delhi’s Rohini area.

Deepak Vaid was stabbed by his friend Rajesh Bansal, 46, alias Mintu. “Vaid was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Bansal fled after the attack. His friends found him with blood stains on his clothes. They informed police and he was caught from his house,” said a police officer.
