The 22-year-old is filled with regret for not answering her younger sister’s calls the day before she was tragically murdered. Just days away from her 19th birthday, her sister had reached out multiple times to chat about which laptop she wanted as a gift. teen teen teen teen teen teen teen teen
Almost a full day later, her sister’s body was discovered in Sanjay Van, located in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
Exhausted after a long day at work, the woman had dozed off. When she finally woke up late the next day, it was to a barrage of missed calls from her mother. Her sister was nowhere to be found.
“She was such a warm and outgoing person… she could make friends with anyone. I always worried she might cross paths with the wrong person and end up in a bad situation,” the woman shared.
In their family’s eyes, there was only one person responsible — an 18-year-old who was later apprehended by the Delhi Police.
On June 1, the suspect had lured the victim to Sanjay Van. “The girl left home in the morning. Around noon, she called her mother to say she’d be back soon…,” DCP (South) Ankit Chauhan explained on Monday.
During the investigation, police reported that the accused claimed the girl had attacked him first with a knife, injuring him — he then retaliated and stabbed her three times. “… After taking her life, he attempted to burn the body. He fled to a hospital for treatment… he had minor injuries from the struggle,” the DCP added.
Both of them were students at Delhi University’s School of Open Learning.
The girl’s family mentioned that they had met through a mutual friend at a farewell party and started chatting on social media earlier in the year. By March, her sister noted that the accused had begun to exhibit controlling behavior.
“He was manipulative and controlling,” she recounted. “He tried to turn my sister against our family… he even prevented her from talking to her childhood friends from our neighborhood… he kept tabs on all her interactions by logging into her social media accounts,” the woman claimed.
In April, worried about her younger daughter’s safety, the girl’s mother reached out to the boy’s father, asking him to put an end to their children’s friendship. Allegedly, the boy responded by meeting with the mother, trying to convince her to allow him to keep talking to her daughter.
The woman recounted, “He met my mother near the gurdwara, which is close to our house. When my mother confronted him about his aggressive behavior, he grabbed her hand and tried to take my sister’s phone from her… my sister was there during this incident. They ended up having a loud argument, and the boy backed off when my mother threatened to call the police.”
“He would often threaten my sister with suicide, which terrified both her and my mother,” the woman claimed, explaining that her sister would frequently give in, fearing he might act on his threats.
The events of June 1
On that Sunday, the girl left home after telling her parents she was heading to Qutub Minar with some friends. “We were in touch with her until about 11:30 am… my father called her because he was having some trouble with our home theater system.
She guided him over the phone and assured him she’d be back by 1:30 pm,” the woman said. An hour after she was supposed to return, her mother received a call from the boy’s father asking about her whereabouts.
The woman recalled, “He told us that his son had been beaten up by two of my sister’s friends and had been stabbed. Then we heard someone in the background say, ‘No, no, [my sister] was stabbed too.’ He quickly told us that the two had met in a park near Qutub Minar and hung up.”
What happened next was a blur. The family rushed to the Jahangirpuri police station, only to be redirected to the Mehrauli police station. They then tried to search for their daughter in the rain-soaked area near Qutub Minar before heading back to the police station.

A missing person’s report was filed, and they reviewed the CCTV footage at the gates of Sanjay Van. The boy was seen entering the forested area at 8:30 am and coming out later in the afternoon. The girl was spotted going into the forest at 10 am and never came back.
“The police told us to return the next day,” the woman recounted. “My mother then reached out to the women’s helpline… after a while, the SHO organized a search team to look for my sister in the forest,” she said, claiming this all happened around 11 pm.
The search stretched late into the night, wrapping up around 3 or 4 am. The family received the heartbreaking news of the murder just a few hours later, at 10 am.
“By the time they found her, animals had gnawed at part of her arm… she was completely burned… and her hair…,” the woman sobbed. “She had such beautiful hair, longer than mine… and now she’s gone.”
During the search, the woman mentioned she had called the boy several times, pleading for any information. “He wouldn’t help. He said he didn’t know anything.”
According to police sources, the two had been in a relationship since the start of the year after connecting on Instagram.
“On Sunday, they sat down and discussed their relationship for nearly two hours before he killed her… she had apparently told him she was promised to someone else, which is when things escalated,” a senior police officer explained.
Meanwhile, in a narrow alley in North Delhi, a two-story house remained closed off to outsiders. “We have nothing to say,” a relative of the boy said coldly, peering out from the second-floor balcony.
The boy’s neighbors were in disbelief over the accusations against him. “He was the quietest boy you’d ever meet… always looking down,” said a local grocer.
