New Delhi: The 16-year-old girl who was attacked by ax by the stalker on Monday at Moti Bagh surrendered on her wounds on Tuesday, who was also his birthday.
A 21-year-old young man who has followed him for the past few months has been arrested.
The defendant, Pradeep, killed him when the girl’s father had slapped him because he made progress.
He wanted to take revenge and bought a ax a few days ago for Rs 350 to attack him.
He was arrested from his sister’s house in Palwal, where he was hiding.
On Monday, the police got a call told them that a girl had been attacked by a young man near the park at the Moti Bagh B-Block.
When the police reached the place, they found that the girl had shifted to the hospital.
The doctor at the hospital has declared critical.
He underwent surgery, but could not survive.
“His body was sent for autopsy and the forensic team conducted a detailed examination of the crime,” said a senior police officer.
DCP (Southwest) Ingit Pratap Singh said CCTV’s statement and eyewitness statement helped the police stipulate that Pradeep had attacked the girl using a ax, confiscated from that place.
“The probe also revealed that he had stalked and harassed the girl for some time.
He also complained about him to his family.
His father even slapped the young man and asked him to get away from his daughter,” he added.
Some raids were carried out in the pradeep hiding place which was possible, including his sister’s house in Palwal, from where he was finally arrested within 12 hours of crime.
“During the interrogation, Pradeep claimed that he attacked the girl to take revenge because he felt humiliated after being slapped by his father.
He has been ordered for murder.
The involvement of his past is being verified,” the officer said.
The victim’s sister said the defendant had threatened to kill him before his birthday.
“He once came to our house in a drunken state saying he loved him.
My parents told him that he had to learn and this was not the right time, but he refused to listen.
He warned to kill him before his birthday and finally attacked him the day before that .
My sister was in class XI.
Our father managed a shop and we helped him.
He returned home from the store when he was attacked.
The owner of the candy shop told us about the attack after we rushed to the hospital, “he added.
