A 35-year-old Uzbek woman was allegedly stabbed by a group of Afghan nationals, including a 15-year-old girl, in southeast Delhi's lajpat Nagar area, in connection with an alleged illicit relationship.
The victim, identified as Zarina, was stabbed on the night of October 23 by a minor and two of her friends, identified as Abdullah and Shorab, aged 27 years, said a senior police officer.
"The dispute allegedly originated over Zarina informing her friend Roshini about her husband's illicit affair with the minor. The 15-year-old got to know about Zarina's involvement and roped in two of her friends and attacked Zarina," he added. When the 15-year-old was escaping in a car with her accomplices, a passerby saw them and thought that the girl had been kidnapped by the boys, police said. He made a PCR call and police intercepted the vehicle on lala lajpat Rai Marg, said the officer.
It was later found during interrogation and through a series of calls that they were involved in a case of stabbing and the girl had not been kidnapped, he added.
Zarina is currently admitted to AIIMS and is out of danger.
