Mumbai:
Rejected in love, a 21-year-old man identified as Adil Shaikh, allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death on Thursday night. The incident occurred at 9 pm and the accused was arrested by Bangur Nagar police in Malad (west) at 12.30 am.
Shaikh had an affair with 19-year-old Darshana Panchal for the last one year. They were both students of KG Mittal College. According to police officials, when the family learnt about Darshana's affair with Shaikh, they coaxed her to break up with him.
When Darshana told Shaikh of the parental pressure, he got upset. After college, he took her on his bike to Inorbit mall and stabbed her 12 times. Unfortunately for Shaikh, a few other drivers who were present at the scene noticed him and informed the police.
When the police detained Shaikh, he said that his friends had stabbed Darshana. But, during interrogation the police nailed his lies.
Claiming it to be a one-sided affair, Darshana's father said, "My daughter was never in love with him. He used to trouble her. She told me about it many times and we warned Adil as well."
"We have registered a case (section 302) and will produce him in court today," said ACP Ramchandra Ahire.
