Sakshi Reddy Murder Case
On 28 May 2023, a 16-year-old girl named Sakshi Reddy was mercilessly killed by Sahil at the Shahbad Dairy police station area in Rohini, Delhi. In the brutal attack, Sahil first stabbed Sakshi with a knife over 20 times and later picked up a concrete block to smash her head. He hit Sakshi’s head 6 times. Although there were many passersby who witnessed the incident, none came to Sakshi’s rescue. The incident got recorded on a CCTV camera placed nearby. Sahil fled from the spot after committing the crime and went to his home. He kept his mobile phone at his home and moved towards Kashmiri Gate Bus Stand from where he took a bus to his aunt (Bua) Shamim’s house. After reaching his aunt’s house, Sahil called his mother and described the entire incident to her. After the incident, Sakshi was immediately rushed to a hospital by the police, where she was declared brought dead. Apparently, the incident took place when Sakshi was on her way to the market to bring some gifts for her friend Neetu’s son. She was reportedly staying at Neetu’s home for the past 15 days as Neetu’s husband was out of town for some work. According to some sources, Sakshi was in a relationship with Sahil, the two recently broke up, and had a quarrel on 27 May 2023. Their fight enraged Sahil so much that he made up his mind to kill Sakshi. [6]Aaj Tak After the initial investigation of the case, Delhi Police Special CP Dependra Pathak said,
As per the information as of now, they (Sahil-Sakshi) knew each other and there was some quarrel or they parted ways. The accused (Sahil) had a grudge and he did this kind of gruesome murder. It’s a crime of passion. Further probe is being done.”
A case under Section 32 (muder) of the Indian Penal Code was registered by Sakshi’s father at the Shahbad Dairy police station. Apparently, Sakshi’s mother has demanded the death penalty for Sahil.
