In a shocking incident on Sunday (May 28), a 16-year-old girl was stabbed over 20 times and then stoned to death in full public view in northwest Delhi's Shahbad Dairy area.
The teen girl was heading for the birthday of her friend's son when Sahil confronted her which led to a quarrel between the two. Sahil stabbed her multiple times and the knife even got stuck into the victim's skull. Following this, Sahil picked up a boulder lying nearby and smashed her head five times, reported India Today.
The whole incident was captured on CCTV where people were seen passing by the spot of the incident. The accused was apparently in a relationship with the deceased.
An FIR was registered under Section 302 of the IPC at the Shahbad Dairy police station on the complaint of the deceased's father.
The accused, Sahil, who is a fridge and AC repair mechanic, was arrested by the police today (May 29) in Bulandshahar district of Uttar Pradesh.

Reacting to the incident, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal urged LG Vinai Kumar Saxena to take strict action against the accused.
दिल्ली में खुलेआम एक नाबालिग बच्ची की बेरहमी से हत्या कर दी जाती है। ये बेहद दुखद और दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है। अपराधी बेख़ौफ़ हो गए हैं, पुलिस का कोई डर ही नहीं है।

LG साहब, क़ानून व्यवस्था आपकी ज़िम्मेदारी है, कुछ कीजिए। दिल्ली के लोगों की सुरक्षा सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है। https://t.co/3i1eLoYYqv
