Police say that Sahil is an AC technician andthat both — the accused and the deceased — had a fight the previous evening.
A senior official said, "They were in a relationship, but yesterday they had a quarrel. The teen was planning to attend her friend's son's birthday. The man followed her and stabbed her multiple times and hit her with a stone."
'Sad and unfortunate'
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal condemned the murder and called it "sad and unfortunate". In a tweet written in Hindi, he said, "A minor girl was brutally murdered in Delhi. This is very sad and unfortunate. The criminals have become fearless, there is no fear of the police. L-G sir, law and order is your responsibility, please do something."
Swati Maliwal, who is the chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women, said that the city "has become extremely unsafe for women and girls".
She said, "16-year-old girl was stabbed 40-50 times and then was hit by a stone multiple times after which she died. All this has been captured on CCTV. Several people saw this but did not pay heed. Delhi has become extremely unsafe for women and girls. I appeal to the central govt to call a high-level meeting with the union home minister, Delhi LG, DCW chief and Delhi CM."
