NEW DELHI: A simmering two-month-long anger over another man may have culminated in a deadly confrontation inside a 21-year-old Delhi University student Muskan’s home, with police suspecting that jealousy drove Imran, a former gym trainer, to allegedly stab her multiple times, news agency PTI reported quoting officials on Thursday. A PCR call about the stabbing was received at Tilak Nagar Police Station at 7.24pm, the DCP said, according to PTI. Because she was talking to another person, police suspect Imran had been angry with her for nearly two months.
An argument reportedly broke out between the two before Imran allegedly attacked her with a knife and fled, according to police. The victim’s brother told police that Muskan knew Aqib alias Imran, who lived nearby, and suspected him of committing the crime, DCP (West) Hareshwar V Swami said, according to PTI. As per the PTI report, Muskan and Imran, who is currently unemployed, had known each other for around one-and-a-half years. The family, however, has not made a specific allegation against any other individual, and police are yet to establish the complete motive or sequence of events leading to the murder. The incident came to light after the house help found Muskan injured on the second floor and informed her family.
What police suspect happened before the killing Police suspect that the tension eventually turned violent on Wednesday evening when Imran allegedly went to Muskan’s home while she was alone.
