Sakshi murder case: Accused Sahil sent to 2-day police custody

NEW DELHI: Sahil, the accused in the brutal murder of a minor girl in Delhi's Shahbad Dairy area, was on Tuesday remanded to two-day police custody by the Rohini Court.
According to reports, due to security reasons, Sahil was produced before Duty Magistrates early on Tuesday morning.
Duty Metropolitan Magistrate Jyoti Nain granted two days' remand after hearing the submissions of Delhi Police.
Delhi Police requested the remand of Sahil, citing two reasons: firstly, the weapon used in the murder had not been recovered yet, and secondly, Sahil had been providing inconsistent statements that needed to be investigated and verified.
Sahil was arrested from Bulandhshahr by Delhi Police on Monday.
In a CCTV footage, Sahil can be purportedly seen stabbing the girl multiple times with a knife and continued to stab her even when she slumped to the ground. He kicked her and then took a concrete slab lying nearby and bludgeoned her head. All this while the footage showed people watching the events unfold and walking past without intervening.
As per Delhi Police, the accused was in a relationship with the minor, but they had a quarrel on Sunday night after which he killed her with multiple assaults.
