Delhi Shahbad Murder Case: Initial Police Investigation Reveals Accused Sahil Suspected Victim Of Having An Affair

New Delhi: The city is reeling in shock following the brutal murder of a minor girl in northwest Delhi's Shahbad Dairy allegedly by her boyfriend, Sahil (20). The horrific incident, which occurred on Sunday evening, involved the girl being stabbed over 20 times and her head smashed with a cement slab.

Startling revelations have surfaced about their relationship, as the accused believed the 16-year-old victim was involved with her ex-boyfriend, leading to a series of threats and escalating tensions.
The accused has been apprehended, shedding light on the tragic events that unfolded.

A preliminary investigation into the heinous crime has revealed that Sahil, now in custody, harbored suspicions that the victim had initiated a romantic involvement with her former boyfriend. A few days prior to the incident, Sahil had reportedly threatened to kill her. The police shared that Sahil's anger was triggered by the victim breaking up with him and an ensuing fight they had a day prior to the murder.

Authorities state that Sahil and the minor victim had been in a relationship since June 2021, but the girl had recently stopped communicating with him. The day before her tragic death, they engaged in a dispute. The girl had been residing with a friend for the past 15 days, indicating a growing rift between the couple.

Police investigations have also unveiled a potential source of frequent conflicts between Sahil and the victim. The victim had a tattoo on her hand bearing the name "Praveen." This tattoo likely contributed to the couple's frequent arguments and ultimately led to her untimely demise.

Following the murder, Sahil promptly switched off his mobile phone and sought refuge at his aunt's residence in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. However, law enforcement successfully tracked him down and apprehended him.

The autopsy report revealed a shocking 34 injury marks on the victim's body, with her skull sustaining severe damage. The police are currently awaiting the final autopsy report for further details.
