This gruesome crime comes on the heels of a chilling double murder which rocked the national capital a few days ago. A woman and a 6-month-old infant were found stabbed to death in the Majnu Ka Tila area on Tuesday. The police confirmed that the suspect, believed to be the woman's boyfriend, is currently on the run. According to police officials, the dead woman has been identified as Sonal. The infant was the daughter of Sonal's friend Rashmi. The police said that Sonal had recently moved in with Rashmi after parting ways with her boyfriend Nikhil, with whom she had been in a live-in relationship.
Officials stated that tensions between Sonal and Nikhil had escalated in recent days. Enraged over her leaving him, he went to the friend’s home where she was staying and killed her and the toddler on Tuesday afternoon.Nikhil also tried to die by suicide in the house, but after his attempt failed, he fled to his sister’s place in Haldoni. At the time of the incident, the mother was out with her husband picking up her 5-year-old daughter from school. According to police sources, Nikhil allegedly killed the woman first out of anger for leaving him and then murdered the toddler as revenge against the mother for providing his former partner a place to stay away from him.
