    Delhi murder: 16-year-old victim wanted to be lawyer, says father

    What's the story

    Sakshi, the 16-year-old girl who was allegedly killed by 20-year-old Sahil in front of passersby in Delhi on Sunday, wanted to become a lawyer, her father, Janak Raj, told PTI.

    "She recently passed her Class 10 board exams. She wanted to be a lawyer and promised to clear her Class 12 exams," he said.

    He added that Sakshi was the eldest of two siblings.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    On Sunday, Sahil was caught on camera allegedly stabbing Sakshi at least 20 times, kicking her limp body, and hitting her relentlessly with a stone slab even as passersby went by.

    The preliminary investigation reportedly revealed that they were in a relationship and had fought a day before the murder.

    The killing sent shock waves through Delhi, which recently witnessed a series of murders.

    Was unaware of daughter's relationship with accused: Father

    Raj further said he was not aware of Sakshi's relationship with Sahil.

    "We never heard about the accused. Sakshi told us about her friends but never about Sahil," he said.

    "We want capital punishment for the accused who brutally killed our daughter," Raj added.

    Meanwhile, Sakshi's mother said she was shocked upon seeing her daughter lying in a pool of blood.

    Investigation

    Sakshi had tattoo that said 'Praveen'

    Fresh developments in the case revealed that Sakshi had a tattoo on her hand that bore the name "Praveen," reported Hindustan Times.

    The police believe this could have been the reason behind the frequent arguments between the alleged couple, which ultimately led to Sakshi's death.

    Officials added that the two had been in a strained relationship since 2021 and engaged in frequent arguments.

    Details

    Sahil arrested from UP yesterday

    Notably, Sahil, who allegedly killed Sakshi in Delhi's Rohini area on Sunday, was arrested from Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahar on Monday.

    According to India Today, the accused is an air conditioner (AC) and refrigerator mechanic.

    He also reportedly has a public Instagram handle called "Sahil Khan," which contains posts of him smoking hookah and listening to Punjabi songs.
