A college student was killed on Friday after being struck with an iron rod at a park in Malviya Nagar, South Delhi. The woman had gone to the park, according to the police, to meet her cousin, who was later detained in connection with the woman’s murder.
The woman, Nargis, and the accused, Irfan, were allegedly dating, according to the preliminary investigation. But Nargis’s family had reportedly refused to give consent to their union, which prompted Irfan in planning her murder then killing her brutually.

He allegedly contacted her on the day of the murder in an effort to restart their relationship. The police claimed that when she refused, he allegedly struck her with an iron rod.
The woman and the accused’s relatives had earlier discussions about their marriage, the police disclosed. The woman’s family, however, rejected the offer after finding out that the accused was unemployed.
