Crime against women in Delhi seem to have no end. A 24-year old man was arrested in Outer Delhi’s Mongolpuri area for slitting an 18-year-old girl's neck as he did not want to marry her. The victim is recuperating at a city hospital. 

The victim and the accused knew each other for the last two years. The accused Rahul was unemployed and was looking out for a job. On Friday morning, Rahul went to the victim’s house to inform her that he can’t marry her as he wanted to settle down in life first. The victim kept pressurising him and in a fit of rage he picked up the kitchen knife and slit her neck. The victim is a student of class 12 and was alone at home during the time of the incident. The accused hid inside a public toilet. Later, the murder knife and the blood stained clothes were seized by the police.

The family members of the victim alleged that on earlier occasions the accused had tried to harm the girl as well and had been troubling her.

“A PCR call was received at 9:30 am regarding a girl being attacked. The family raised suspicion on a man named Rahul. After investigations, the accused was arrested. He stated that he could not marry the girl as he was unemployed. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code,” DCP (Outer) Vikramjeet Singh.  

In another incident, daughter of an Uttar Pradesh Police Sub-Inspector committed suicide by jumping from the third floor of Cross River Mall in East Delhi. The victim took the extreme step as her jilted lover had shared her private pictures with her father. The father of the victim then approached the police and registered a case against him. The girl was depressed at this and decided to take the extreme step.
