Sakshi Reddy Murder Case

On 28 May 2023, Sakshi Reddy was gruesomely murdered by her alleged boyfriend Sahil in the Shahbad Dairy area in Rohini, New Delhi. Apparently, Sakshi was on her way to the market to buy a gift for her friend’s son (for his birthday) when Sahil accosted her in the densely populated street. When Sakshi refused to talk to Sahil, he repeatedly stabbed her, knifing her over 20 times and then crushing her head with a cement boulder. In a media conversation, while talking about the incident, her mother said,

At the market, Sahil approached her and asked her to come with him. But when my daughter asked him why, he stabbed her multiple times and soon fell unconscious. He then smashed her head repeatedly with stones.”

As per some reports, Sakshi, who was in a relationship with Sahil for over three years, wanted to break up with him and the two had a quarrel on the matter on 27 May 2023. Their breakup reportedly enraged Sahil, who then decided to kill Sakshi. The incident got recorded in a cctv camera placed nearby. Post the incident, Sakshi was taken to Ambedkar Hospital by the police, where she was declared brought dead by the doctors. ^[3]Business Standard

As per the initial investigation in 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.

Sahil’s Arrest

Sahil escaped from the spot soon after committing the crime. He headed to his home first, where he kept his phone, and later went to the 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 Sakshi’s father registered a complaint against Sahil at the Shahbad Dairy police station, Delhi police started searching for him. On 29 May 2023, Sahil was arrested from Aterna village in Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh after a call from his aunt to his father was traced by the Delhi Police. ^[4]Business Standard
