‘Never saw Sahil…we demand justice’: Parents of murdered 16-year-old Delhi girl
The 16-year-old girl was caught on CCTV being pinned to a wall and stabbed multiple times by a man in Delhi's Shahbad area.
The father of the 16-year-old girl murdered allegedly by her 20-year-old boyfriend in Delhi's Shahbad demanded stringent punishment for the accused.
"My daughter was stabbed many times, her head was also bludgeoned into pieces. We demand stringent punishment for the accused", the girl's father told news agency ANI.
The girl's father said he did not know about Sahil, who is accused of brutally killing his daughter. “I don't know about the relationship between the two. I have never heard about him from his friends”, he said.
"Never saw Sahil. We demand justice for our daughter," mother of the 16-year-old minor victim said.
The brutal killing of the 16-year-old girl has sparked outrage across the country. The police have arrested the accused Sahil from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh hours after the murder.
The killing caught on CCTV camera showed the young girl being pinned to a wall and stabbed several times by a man. The murder took place in view of people passing within inches of the attacker. No one stopped or said anything as the girl's body crumpled to the road and the attacker continued his assault. If the stabbing was not enough, he bludgeoned the girl's head and walked away.
