Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday said that justice will be served for the 17-year-old boy, who was attacked by knives and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital.
The teenager, who was killed in the J block of Seelampur, has been identified as Kunal, the Chief Minister said.
"I have spoken to the Police commissioner on the murder of a 17-year-old boy, Kunal. He was attacked by knives and was rushed to the Jai Prakash hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival," Gupta told reporters.
She informed that the police had registered an FIR in the murder case while assuring that the police would arrest the accused soon.
"The police are after the accused, and they will be caught soon. FIR has been registered, and the police are on the job. Justice will be served," Gupta said.
Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva appealed to the people to maintain peace in the area.

"Police have arrested all the criminals in such cases that have happened in the last few days. In this case, too, both of them are declared criminals. They are identified and will be arrested soon. Police are doing their work. We need to maintain peace right now," he said.
Joint Commissioner of Police (CP) East, Pushpendra Kumar, said that the boy was killed in Seelampur's J block on Thursday, and the accused are from the same area. He added that the police were on the lookout for two people who remain suspects in the murder case.
"A 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Seelampur's J block yesterday. Few people from the same area are accused in the case. The accused have been identified, and our teams are working to nab them soon. The two individuals whose names have come to light are being pursued by the police. If any other person's involvement is found, they will be arrested," Joint CP Kumar told ANI.
The mother of a 17-year-old boy who was stabbed to death in the Seelampur area of the national capital said on Friday that she had not been given any updates from the police, alleging complicity by the authorities in catching the culprits and allowing the perpetrators to flee the area.
"My son had a fight a few days ago. There was some incident, and my son was just standing there and watching as he got beaten up; they gave him threats. We had taken him to the hospital; we had not eaten anything for two days. When my kid came back, he had asked for a samosa and milk and had gone out to get the food. He went out around 7 o'clock, and by 7.15, we got the news that our son had been stabbed," the mother told ANI.
She further said that the doctor who had treated the child was also beaten up by some people.
Locals in the Seelampur area continued their protest from last night against the stabbing of the 17-year-old boy in the area, blocking roads and holding signs demanding justice for the boy.
Visuals from the area showed hundreds of locals blocking the roads late at night on 17 April, and on the morning of Friday, they continued the protest. The locals were seen shouting slogans demanding justice and holding cards written with 'Modi ji madad karo, Yogi model chahiye' (PM Modi, help us, we need the Yogi model).
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police of the northeast area, Sandeep Lamba, assured that the accused will be caught soon as authorities conduct raids in the area.

"We are conducting raids. The accused will be caught soon. Investigation is underway," he said.
