Seventeen-year-old Kunal was killed Thursday evening, just a few metres from his house in Delhi’s Seelampur.
The Delhi Police has arrested a 25-year-old woman, Zikra Khan, who calls herself “Lady Don”, in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old boy in Delhi’s Seelampur.
The victim, Kunal, was killed around 6pm on Thursday, just a few metres from his house.
Police said Kunal was killed in a revenge attack, alluding to an earlier altercation between an associate of his and one of the suspects. During interrogation, Zikra conffesed to being involved in the murder, according to the police.
The incident led to late night protests by the teenager’s family and neighbours, prompting the deployment of security forces and drawing in the national capital’s top political leaders.
Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta has assured the family of the victim of justice. “I have talked to the Commissioner of Police. The police are making all efforts, and I hope the accused will be arrested soon,” she said.
