A horrifying incident occurred near Aurobindo College in Delhi's Malviya Nagar, where a young college student lost her life after a brutal attack with a rod.
The victim, identified as Nargis graduated from Kamala Nehru College earlier this year, and was enjoying a day at the park when tragedy struck.
Police said that the accused, Irfan, had planned the murder three days ago and also knew her daily schedule. He knew that she crosses the park every day while going to her stenography classes.
"The accused has claimed that he took the iron rod, which was used in the crime, from his house. He further claimed that he tried to approach the woman on Monday also, but could not meet her that day due to some reasons. We are verifying his claims," police said.
According to the cops, the girl and her family had rejected the marriage proposal of the accused. Police further added that Irfan asked the girl to come to Vijay Mandal Park to talk. When the girl arrived at the spot, he allegedly bludgeoned her to death with an iron rod he was hiding.
