Gurugram: In a heart-wrenching incident, a 19-year-old girl in Gurugram was stabbed to death on Monday, in the presence of her mother, who made desperate attempts to save her daughter.
The incident was captured on a CCTV camera and the footage showed that, although the incident took place in the presence of other people too, none of the eye-witnesses came to the girl’s help. The relatives of the victim handed the murder accused Rajkumar, aged 23 years, to Palam Vihar police officials.
The initial investigation has revealed that the duo was engaged four months ago, but the marriage was cancelled a few days back. The girl was murdered as she refused to marry the youngster.
Several media houses, however, have been projecting the crime to be a case of attack on Hindu girls by their Muslim lovers. Popular Kannada daily Kannada Prabha has reported the incident with the headline, ‘Muslim youth kills Hindu girl for refusing to marry him’.
The Gurugram police officers, however, have clarified on Twitter, “The knife used to kill the girl and the mobile phone of the arrested accused have been confiscated. The girl seems to have been stabbed twice. The body has been sent to conduct a post-mortem test.
Further investigation of the case is underway.”
