In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves through Delhi, a 20-year-old refrigerator and air conditioning repair mechanic, Sahil, was arrested from Bulandshahr in connection with the brutal murder of a 16-year-old girl named Sakshi in Shahbad. The gruesome attack, captured on CCTV, showed Sahil mercilessly assaulting the young girl with large stones before stabbing her multiple times. The victim’s grieving mother has demanded the death penalty for the accused.
The incident has sparked a heated debate on law and order in the city, with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal criticizing the Delhi Police, claiming that there is a lack of fear among criminals. Kejriwal urged Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal to take immediate action, emphasizing his responsibility for maintaining law and order in the capital.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kapil Mishra has labeled the incident as a case of “love jihad,” alleging that it is a premeditated crime against daughters of the community. Such accusations have further fueled the controversy surrounding the incident.
Sahil, son of Sarfaraz, was apprehended in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. Suman Nalwa, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, stated that Sahil was employed as a mechanic specializing in refrigerator and air conditioning repairs. The police are conducting a thorough investigation and have vowed to ensure that the accused receives the harshest possible punishment for his heinous crime.
During their inquiry, the police have also discovered that Sahil may have concealed his identity or religion by wearing a kalawa, a red cotton thread commonly associated with Hinduism, which has raised suspicions regarding the motive behind the murder. Dependra Pathak, Delhi Police Special CP, revealed that Sahil and Sakshi were acquainted with each other and had likely had a dispute or separated prior to the incident. The accused, driven by a deep grudge, allegedly committed this brutal act in a crime of passion.
Further details provided by DCP Outer North Ravi Kumar Singh indicated that the victim was on her way to attend a function when the tragic incident unfolded. Sahil resided in the Shahbad Dairy police station area, adding another layer of gravity to the case.
As the investigation continues, the focus remains on ensuring justice for Sakshi and her grieving family. The horrifying nature of this crime has intensified the demand for a stringent punishment for Sahil, highlighting the need for a swift and efficient legal process to bring the perpetrator to justice and provide solace to the victim’s loved ones.
