In a tragic incident that unfolded on Sunday in Delhi's Shahbad Dairy area, a 20-year-old man, Sahil allegedly killed a 16-year-old girl in a fit of rage, brutally stabbing her 16 times, then smashing her head with a boulder in a street.
The accused Sahil, who is charged with the murder of his girlfriend, was presented before the Rohini court on Tuesday. The court then sent him to 2-day police custody in the matter. Sahil was arrested in UP's Bulandshahr a day ago after Delhi Police formed 6 teams to nab him.
