Monday (May 29), the country woke up to the shocking news of the brutal murder of a minor girl identified as Sakshi by her ‘friend’ Sahil in the Shahbad dairy area of Delhi. In the murder, which has been caught on CCTV camera, Sakshi was stabbed over 20 times and then her head was crushed using a boulder by Sahil.
The inconsolable parents of the 16-year-old Sakshi, devastated by the brutal murder of their daughter, have demanded stringent action against 20-year-old Sahil. Speaking to ANI, the mother said, “Never saw Sahil. We demand justice for our daughter.”
The bereaved mother recalled how her daughter always dreamt of taking care of them like a son. “I’ll always be a son to you’ll,” the bereaved mother recalled Sakshi telling her several times. She added that Sakshi, who had recently completed class ten, was aspiring to be a lawyer before she met the dastardly fate.
The mother added that on the day of the incident, Sakshi told her that she was going to the public toilet near our house and returning home. “I don’t know why she went there, the accused killed her near the toilet,” the mother recalled.
Demanding the death penalty for the perpetrator, the mother said, “If he in kept in the lock-up he will be released sooner or later, this is how it works, nowadays everything works on bribes, I want justice, life for a life, otherwise he will do it again. Today it was my daughter, tomorrow it will be someone else.”
