Delhi murder: Accused linked to drugs, suicide attempt

In West Delhi's Tilak Nagar, a 21-year-old woman named Muskan was tragically murdered. The accused, identified as Imran, also known as Aqib, has been apprehended by the police following a manhunt spanning three states.

Investigators have uncovered that Imran was heavily reliant on drugs and had been expelled from a local gym approximately two months ago due to a suicide attempt at his residence. Muskan's family had previously filed a complaint alleging harassment, leading to Imran being sent to a drug de-addiction center in July. Police are also examining a hotel meeting between Imran and Muskan days before her death.

During the arrest operation, an encounter ensued, resulting in Imran sustaining a gunshot wound. He is currently receiving medical treatment in custody. Imran has a prior record, including involvement in a 2021 case of assault and culpable homicide.
