15 Nov
Summary
- Saleswoman found deceased in a trial room of a West Delhi clothing showroom.
- The suspect, known to the victim, was apprehended by authorities.
- A sharp weapon and blood stains were discovered near the victim's body.
Authorities have apprehended a 29-year-old suspect, identified as Suraj, in the murder of 18-year-old Shabnam. The victim was discovered deceased inside the trial room of a clothing showroom, Vastr Mahal, in Moti Nagar, West Delhi, on Saturday evening. Preliminary investigations suggest Suraj knew Shabnam, and strained personal relations may have been the motive for the fatal assault with a sharp-edged weapon.
Showroom employees found Shabnam's body when preparing to close for the day. A sharp injury was noted on her neck, and a blood-stained knife was recovered nearby. A witness reported seeing Shabnam using her phone around 6:45 PM, and later received a call about her disappearance after an alleged assault. Further investigation revealed familial connections between the suspect and the deceased, as two of the suspect's brothers are married to two sisters of the victim. Police have registered a murder case and are actively probing the motive behind this incident.
