A 19-year-old woman died on Wednesday, two days after being thrown off a five-story building allegedly by a stalker in northeast Delhi's Ashok Nagar.
NEW DELHI:
Police said the victim's family claimed the accused, a 30-year-old man who had been harassing her for months, disguised himself in a burqa, sneaked into her building, and flung her off the terrace in front of her father.
The attack, which occurred around 8:30 a.m. on Monday, stunned the neighborhood, triggered demands for justice, and led to a heavy police deployment amid fears of communal tension—the victim was Hindu, and the accused Muslim.
According to the police, the accused, identified as Taufiq-Ur-Rehman, is on the run.
Deputy commissioner of police (northeast) Ashish Kumar Mishra said a case of attempted murder and criminal intimidation was initially registered, later converted to murder. The accused is originally from Hapur in Uttar Pradesh, and worked as a daily wager in Ashok Nagar's local market.
