New Delhi: Sahil, 20, who killed a 16-year-old girl in cold blood in Delhi’s Shahbad Dairy on Sunday, purchased the knife used in the murder from Haridwar. He bought the knife on Friday, according to Delhi Police. Sahil is currently in police custody. Police are yet to recover the knife allegedly used in killing her.
Sahil was arrested from Bulandshahr, his native place in UP, on Monday 18 hours after the murder that was caught on camera.
He was brought to Delhi from Bulandshahr overnight and produced before a court in Delhi on Tuesday, following which he was sent to two days in police custody, said a senior police officer.
Police said Sahil was infuriated with the girl because she was allegedly breaking up her relationship with him.
“On Thursday, she allegedly insulted him in front of one of his friends. That triggered him to plan the murder,” said a senior police investigator, refusing to be identified.
The girl was on the way to the birthday party of the son of her woman friend on Sunday evening when Sahil allegedly stopped her and stabbed her to death in full public view, while over a dozen people merely watched from close quarters without intervening. A CCTV camera caught Sahil stabbing the girl 16 times, repeatedly smashing her head with a brick and kicking and stomping her.
