Man kills cousin after she refused to marry him: Delhi Police

The accused named Irfan, who killed his cousin in a park on Friday afternoon, had allegedly been planning to murder her for three days. That’s not it, he then surrendered to the police hours after committing this gruesome crime.

Briefing about the incident, a Delhi Police official said, “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.”

The woman was identified as Nargis and a graduate of Kamala Nehru College this year.

Why Nagris refused to marry Irfan?

Irfan wanted to marry his first cousin Nargis, however, she refused to marry him as he didn’t have a permanent job and was working as a food delivery agent. Delhi Police claimed that he was dejected and was finding it difficult to get someone else to marry him.

Soon after she refused to marry him, Nargis also stopped taking his calls. Then, he started tailing her in a bid to try and talk to her.

Finally, on Friday, Irfan executed his heinous plan and battered Nargis to death with an iron rod at a park near Delhi University’s Sri Aurobindo College.

“We received information that the body of a 25-year-old girl was found in a park near Aurobindo College in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar. An iron rod was found near her body,” a Delhi Police official said.

Taking it to Twitter, the chief minister wrote in Hindi, “Another daughter was brutally murdered in Delhi, it is very sad. Law and order has become a serious issue in Delhi. It is a request to the LG and the Home Minister, to make the police a little active. The safety of the daughters of Delhi and the people of Delhi is very important.”

Moreover, the chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), Swati Maliwal, took note of Friday’s incident as well as the murder of a woman in Delhi’s Dabri area last night and asked how many deaths it would take for the centre to fix accountability of the Delhi Police.
