In a major development in Delhi's Seelampur murder case, the police have arrested the prime accused, Zikra, and six other individuals. Along with the 'Lady Don', her cousin Sahil has also been arrested. Moreover, the police have also taken some minor suspects into custody.
The police had formed 10 teams to arrest the accused. Meanwhile, investigations are underway to reach the bottom of the case. However, reports claim that Kunal was stabbed in a personal rivalry.
News agency PTI claimed that the deceased's family members revealed that a few members from Kunal's community allegedly attacked Zikra's cousin brother, Sahil, prompting police to register an attempt to murder case.
"It is suspected that Kunal was also involved in the stabbing of Sahil. Although Sahil did not die, he, along with Zikra, hatched a plan to take revenge for the attack," PTI quoted a family source as saying.

Zikra was detained by the Delhi Police two days back and has now been arrested. As per a PTI report, it is suspected that when the 17-year-old victim named Kunal was stabbed to death, she was present on the spot.
Zikra, who had worked as a bouncer for jailed Delhi gangster Hashim Baba's wife, Zoya Khan, had formed a group of minor boys to widen her influence and instill fear in the locality.
Zikra used to live with Zoya until the latter was arrested in February in connection with a drug trafficking case. Zoya Khan was reportedly arrested with 225 grams of heroin, valued at over Rs 1 crore. Zikra formed the group after Zoya was arrested.
Kunal was stabbed on Thursday evening while he stepped out of his house to buy milk. The incident sparked an intense protest with relatives and local residents blocking the Kashmiri Gate ISBT-Ghaziabad Road.
