The Delhi Police on early Wednesday morning recreated the crime scene at the spot where a minor was brutally stabbed to death by her boyfriend. The accused Sahil also accompanied the police. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police has asked three friends of the Shahbad Dairy murder victim to join the investigation.
According to police, due to security reasons, Sahil was taken to the crime spot at 4 am in the morning and the police tried to understand how he murdered the minor. They also asked him to explain where he waited for her to come to the area. The police are still trying to recover the murder weapon.
Though the accused, Sahil has admitted to the crime, he is continuously changing his statements, the police said. The police have got only two days custody of Sahil, so they have only Wednesday to recover the murder weapon. Efforts are on to trace the weapon, the police said.
Sakshi was stabbed over 20 times and then bludgeoned with a cement slab, killing her on the spot. She was found to have 34 injury marks on her body and her skull was smashed in. The accused Sahil (20) was arrested from Bulandshahar in Uttar Pradesh on Monday.
The police has asked three friends of Sakshi to join the investigation. A senior police officer said three of Sakshi’s friends — Bhawna, Ajay alias Jhabru and Neetu — have been asked to join the investigation and provide the required details in connection with the incident.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer North) Ravi Kumar Singh said, “We have the accused in our custody and interrogation is underway. We are looking at all aspects to connect the links. We are working to see all the individuals involved in the incident. Our team is working to recover the weapon used in it.” Sahil allegedly threw away the knife used to kill Sakshi into the bushes in Rithala. It is yet to be recovered, he said.
Fresh CCTV footage has emerged in which the victim is seen walking into a street minutes before her murder. Ajay said Sakshi had complained to him about Sahil on Saturday. He said that “On Saturday, Sakshi came and said Sahil pestered her. Me, along with Bhawna and Sakshi, went to meet Sahil and asked him not to bother her. However, on Sunday, he committed the crime.”
“When I heard about the incident and went to the spot, I saw her body lying there. Her skull was ruptured and her intestines were hanging. I helped the police shift the body into the ambulance,” he added.
Sunil Kumar, another local who reached the spot, said he saw several people gathered there and Ajay was helping the police to carry the body. The police are yet to recover the weapon used to kill Sakshi. Sahil disclosed that he threw the knife near the metro station at Rithala after the murder.
Sahil had planned the murder two days before he killed Sakshi, who had rebuffed him in front of her friends and refused to mend their relationship.
