Delhi Murder Case: A teenager was killed by a group of youth at the Japanese Park in northwest Delhi's Rohini area. The victim, identified as Divyanshu (18), was attacked in broad daylight on January 15. The police on Saturday said five juvenile accused have been arrested. The juveniles involved in the murder were residents of the same locality and studied in the same school.
What Was The Motive Behind The Murder?
According to police, Divyanshu was lured to a public park through social media and allegedly stabbed to death by a group of minors in broad daylight. The deceased was in a relationship with the sister of one of the attackers, an official said, adding that the murder was plotted by the minor brother of the girl with whom the victim was in a romantic relationship.
"A PCR call regarding the stabbing was received around 3 pm, following which a police team rushed to the spot and found Divyanshu lying injured and bleeding. He was taken to BSA Hospital, where doctors declared him dead," he added.
The official said police registered a case under relevant sections of the BNS and an investigation was underway.
Fake Social Media Account Used To Hatch The Murder Plot
The police probe found that the accused juvenile used a friend's social media account under a fake name to remain in contact with the victim and lured him to the park on the pretext of meeting. On the day of the incident, he allegedly arrived at the park along with his associates and attacked the victim with a knife.
Police said all those involved in the crime were found to be juveniles and were apprehended within 24 hours of registration of the case.
The knife used in the crime was recovered, along with the victim's mobile phone, wrist watch and a metallic 'kada' from the possession of the juveniles, police said.
