On August 21, Ravi and his friend Ankit Agarwal, also 19, both first year students of B Com, took on two men who were misbehaving with Ravi's sister. The eve-teasers, attacked Ankit and Ravi with knives. They then ran away.
"They were teasing his sister and he tried to stop them. He also asked why they were doing this, but they instead stabbed him. One of their names is Sanju, I don't know the other one's name," a friend of the boys said.
A third friend rushed Ankit and Ravi to the Rajendra Nagar police station nearby in the hope, he said, that the police would take them to the hospital.
The police instead summoned an ambulance that took 40 minutes to reach. In that period, the police recorded their statements even as Ravi steadily bled. He died on the way to the hospital.
The two attackers are still at large; the police has registered a case.
