NEW DELHI: The First Information Report (FIR) registered by the police in connection with the brutal murder of 16-year-old Sakshi by her boyfriend Mohammad Sahil Khan in Delhi’s Shahbad Dairy area reveals that her father was aware about their affair.

Based on the FIR obtained, it was revealed that his daughter had been friends with Sahil for the past one year.

Janak Raj (35), mentioned in the FIR, said, “She would often talk about him, and we would advise her that it’s not appropriate at her age. However, she would always take offence and go to her friend Neetu’s house.”

In the past three days, the father of the deceased girl had been denying any knowledge of Sahil to the media and claimed to have never heard of him.

According to the FIR, Janak Raj further mentioned that Sakshi had been staying with Neetu for the past 10 days.

“On the night of May 29-30, Neetu came running to our house and informed me that Sahil, Sakshi’s friend, had stabbed my daughter,” said the FIR.

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, the police took accused Sahil to the crime spot to recreate the scene.

Sources said that he was taken to the crime spot in the Shahbad Dairy area around 4 am.

The 20-year-old has revealed to the investigators that he committed the heinous act out of anger after Sakshi began ignoring him.

Police teams have conducted searches near Rithala Metro station in an effort to find the knife used in the crime, as Sahil claimed to have disposed of it in the nearby bushes. However, the weapon is yet to be recovered.

An official involved in the investigation said that Sahil has been inconsistent with his statements, and these are currently being verified.
