Amit is a friend of the victim’s brother. He claimed to be in love with the woman. He told the police that he wanted a relationship with her but she turned down his proposal. Unable to take rejection, he allegedly decided to take the extreme step and had fled.

This is second such incident reported in Najafgarh less than six-months. In September 2016, a 21-year-old girl was stabbed 30 times. She was rushed to a nearby hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
