The Thar linked to the case.

In the run-up to Navrati, a tiff over boom box supremacy on roads led to a clash between two northeast Delhi groups, ending with two persons of a group suffering stab wounds near Rajghat on the Ring Road in central Delhi, police said on Wednesday.

They arrested a 2l-year-old man, who works as a food delivery agent, and apprehended a 17-year-old juvenile in connection with the stabbing incidents.

Police said the incident took place around 4am on Monday, when the two groups were returning after fetching the religious flame from the temple in Kalkaji. The groups got into an altercation over who would play louder music, which eventually led to a heated argument and escalated into violence.
