Man kills woman with iron rod for refusing marriage proposal in south Delhi
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.
The authorities claim that Irfan had made plans to kill Nargis three days ago. He knew that Nargis frequently passed through Malviya Nagar park on her way to her stenography training since he was aware with her routine, according to the police.
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.
The 28-year-old accused worked for Swiggy as a delivery guy. He felt as though his chances of getting married were dwindling after being rejected despite his younger brother marriage being fixed.
