New Delhi, Sep 2 A minor boy allegedly killed his tutor by slitting his throat with a paper cutter for repeatedly sexually assaulting him, the police said on Saturday, adding that the juvenile has been apprehended. 

According to the police, at around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, a PCR call was received informing about a body lying in a pool of blood in a room on the second floor of a building in Jamia Nagar.

When the police reached the crime scene, they found the lifeless body of a man aged around 28 years with injury marks on his neck. Later, the deceased was identified as a private tutor who lived in a different locality.

"The property where the body was found belongs to the deceased's family, who had recently vacated it after renting it out. The deceased stayed with his family in Zakir Nagar,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast), Rajesh Deo.

"During investigation, a juvenile referred to as 'X' was identified. Upon examination, it was revealed that the deceased had engaged in homosexual activity with the juvenile approximately two months ago and had been repeatedly assaulting him sexually since then,” the DCP said.

When an opportune moment arose, the juvenile, armed with a sharp paper-cutter, slit his tutor's throat and fled from the scene,” the DCP said.
