Sahil, an Indian technician who repairs refrigerators and ACs, tragically killed his girlfriend Sakshi on 28 May 2023 by stabbing her more than 20 times and later hitting her head with a cement slab six times. |
Sahil was raised in a financially struggling family in Delhi and had previously lived in the Shahbad Dairy area but had to move to Jain Colony in Rohini in 2021 due to frequent fights. |
The brutal murder of Sakshi took place in Rohini, Delhi, and was captured on nearby CCTV cameras, showing witnesses not helping her. |
After the crime, Sahil fled to his aunt's house at Kashmiri Gate Bus Stand, confessing the incident to his mother. |
Sakshi, who had been staying at her friend's house, was attacked by Sahil when she refused to talk to him on her way to buy a gift for her friend's son. |
The Delhi police registered a case against Sahil under the Indian Penal Code following a complaint by Sakshi's father. |
Sakshi's parents demanded capital punishment for Sahil to seek justice for their daughter. |
Sahil was arrested in Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh after a special police team tracked him through a call with his father. |
Reports suggest Sahil had planned the murder of Sakshi for some time, and there were speculations about the motive behind the crime. |
Kapil Mishra described the incident as love-jihad and accused Sahil of being part of a planned attack. |
In a statement, Sahil's father expressed shock over his son's violent act and emphasized Sahil should be held accountable as an adult. |
Sahil wore a sacred red thread to conceal his true identity or religious affiliation, as per certain sources. |
It is known that Sahil has a habit of drinking alcohol and smoking hookah. |
