A 50-year old shopkeeper from Haryana was stabbed to death here, police said on Sunday.

A pedestrian found the man lying at Nangli Puna flyover in west Delhi late on Saturday and informed police.

"A team reached the spot and found the man -- later identified as Ashok, a resident of Ambala in Haryana -- with a stab injury on the left side of his chest," Deputy Commissioner of Police Rishi Pal said.

"He was rushed to a hospital where doctor declared him dead."

During investigation, it was found that Ashok had come here to purchase some equipment for his shop in Haryana.

"Some electronic spare parts like sound amplifiers, ac-dc converters and other electronic materials, a hand bag and keys were found at the spot," Pal said.

He said "prima-facie it appears to be a case of robbery" but police are looking at other angles too.

"A case of murder has been registered. The CCTV footages of the nearby intersections were being examined to identify the accused," Pal said.
