Drunk Man Kills Friend’s 7-Year-Old Daughter After She Insisted On TV Remote In Delhi, Arrested | Free Pik
Delhi: A shocking incident has come to light from Delhi, where a seven-year-old girl was strangled to death, allegedly by her father’s friend in a fit of anger — over a TV remote on Sunday. Police has arrested the accused.
The accused has been identified as Ranjeet Singh, who worked as a Labour.
Reportedly, the child was left alone with the accused just some time after he and the victim’s father shared a few drinks.
Police said the 35-year-old man allegedly confessed that he grew annoyed with the girl after she attempted to take the TV remote. In a fit of anger, he slapped her, causing her to fall off the couch and start bleeding. He then allegedly strangled her, fearing the consequences of hitting the child.
The incident came to light on Saturday when a Head Constable noticed a crowd gathered in a lane in Outer North Delhi. Upon investigating, he saw the body of a young girl inside her bedroom, with visible injuries.
An investigation was launched after a case of murder was filed. Preliminary investigation states that there are no evidence of sexual assault.
The child’s body was preserved for an post-mortem to determine the final cause of death.
“On the day of the murder, the suspect and the girl’s father consumed alcohol and then left the residence. After walking some distance, the friend returned to the house and began watching television. When the girl repeatedly asked for the remote, he assaulted her,” the police was quoted saying by the Economic Times.
The police further said, “The minor lost consciousness, and blood began to flow from her mouth. Fearing she would regain consciousness and alert others, Ranjit panicked. He then used a nearby metal rod to inflict fatal injuries on her neck, causing significant blood loss. He wrapped the victim’s body in clothes and hid it under the bed. He then fled the spot, taking her father’s mobile phone, which was later recovered from his possession.”
The deceased girl’s parents work as casual labourers, and they have a nine-year-old daughter as well.
