Shahbad Murder Case: Victim's Parents Demand Death Penalty For Accused Sahil

The parents of the deceased minor girl who was stabbed to death in the Shahbad Dairy area in Delhi on Sunday have demanded the death penalty for the accused Sahil.

"We want the death penalty for him (Sahil). Life for life. The way my daughter is gone, he should also be gone," ANI quoted the deceased mother.

The victim's father is a labourer and he had two children including the deceased 16-year-old girl. "I work as a labourer, and I have only two children, the first one was her and a small boy, I just want that he should be punished severely," he told the news agency.

The 20-year-old accused Sahil stabbed her over 20 times and bludgeoned her to death with a cement slab. The incident was caught on CCTV which showed him purportedly stabbing the girl multiple times with a knife. He continued to stab her even after she fell to the ground.

He violently struck her with a forceful kick, followed by wielding a nearby concrete slab to brutally batter her head. Throughout this horrifying sequence, the recorded footage revealed onlookers observing the unfolding events, walking past without intervening.

Following the murder, he discarded the knife and then took a bus to Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh. Officials tell OneIndia that during the interrogation, Sahil told the cops that he was enraged as the girl was ignoring him for some time now.

He was arrested from Bulandshahr after a call from his aunt to his father was traced to a location in Uttar Pradesh.

The girl was found to have 34 injury marks on her body and her skull was ruptured.

Meanwhile, a Delhi court on Tuesday sent him to police custody for two days' after hearing the submissions of Delhi Police.
