NEW DELHI: In yet another incident of love jihad, a Muslim boy killed his teenage Hindu female friend in a gruesome fashion as locals watched the murder live in the northern part of outer Delhi on Sunday.
Sahil, son of Sarafraz, stabbed 16-year-old Shakshi multiple times in full public gaze and then smashed her head with a rock in Shahbad Dairy area of Outer North Delhi while bystanders looked on helplessly.
Sakshi is said to have had a relationship with the boy and they had a quarrel the previous day. The incident occurred on Sunday evening when the victim was en route to a birthday party in the same neighbourhood.
According to CCTV footage released by the Delhi Police, the boy can be seen stabbing the girl with full force in her chest, throat and in the head till the victim falls unconscious. But the attacker does not stop, he picks up a large cement brick and smashes her head several times before fleeing the area without any remorse.

Shockingly, this heinous act took place in broad daylight, with pedestrians passing by, seemingly unable to intervene. Some of them even pass through the alleyway – coming very close to the attacker but make no intervention.
The Delhi Police have registered a case of murder and initiated a search operation to apprehend the accused, Sahil, who resides in the same locality as the victim.
According to the police, an informant alerted the beat staff about the girl’s murder and urged them to respond immediately. Officers from the Shahbad Dairy police station arrived at the scene to investigate the matter.

“The deceased, identified as 16-year-old Sakshi from JJ Colony Shahbad Dairy, was found lifeless on the street. Our investigation revealed that she was walking when Sahil intercepted her and launched a vicious attack, stabbing her multiple times,” stated a police officer.
The officer further disclosed, “Sahil and the victim were in a relationship, but they had a quarrel on Saturday. On Sunday, while Sakshi was preparing to attend a birthday celebration for her friend Neetu’s son, Sahil intercepted her, inflicting multiple stab wounds and striking her with a stone.”
This tragic incident has sent shockwaves throughout the community, raising concerns about the safety and security of girls involved in romantic relationships with Muslim youths, who have often resorted to the tactic of love jihad.

In a video statement, BJP leader Kapil Mishra alleged lackluster attitude of police and judiciary in penalizing perpetrators of love jihad. He also termed the incident as an extension of ‘The Kerala Story’ – a film that brings forth the conversion of Hindu women by trained Islamic modules.
“Shraddha Walker was killed (by her partner Aaftab) in the same Delhi but the perpetrator is yet to be hanged to death. Judiciary is also responsible for the rise in such crimes. Sakshi would not have lost her life had Aaftab been punished,” he said.
