New Delhi, 30th May. A day after a 16-year-old girl was stabbed and bludgeoned to death in the national capital’s Shahbad Dairy area, Delhi Police sources said the murder could have been premeditated because Sahil, the 20-year-old accused, purchased the knife used in the murder a fortnight before.

“During questioning, Sahil said that he had bought the knife used in the murder about 15 days ago from a weekly market,” police sources said.

The accused has not, however, disclosed the location from which he bought the knife and police are investigating, the sources said.

Police are also investigating whether or not the murder was a “crime of passion” or done on a sudden provocation, the sources said.

According to sources, Sahil fled the city after the murder and turned off his phone. He arrived in Uttar Pradesh after changing two buses. Sahil was arrested on Monday in Bulandshahr by Delhi Police and taken to police remand for two days today.

According to police sources, Sahil dropped his weapon at Rithala before fleeing to Bulandshahr after committing the murder.

A CCTV recording of the incident shows Sahil allegedly stabbing the girl several times with a knife. He kept stabbing her even after she collapsed to the ground. He kicked her, then picked a nearby concrete slab and bludgeoned her head. All the time, video showed people watching the events happen and going by without doing something. At one point a dog is seen approaching the spot.

The police arrived at the crime scene around 10 minutes after the local beat cop was informed of the incident by the villagers.

An initial police inquiry revealed that the victim did not have a mobile phone at the time of the incident.

According to the officials, the accused was in a relationship with the minor, but they had a falling out on Sunday night, following which he murdered her with multiple assaults.

The police stated they had filed a FIR under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Shahbad Dairy Police Station.
