A Pocso case. A man in coma. A murdered model: Delhi gym trainer's trail of violence

In a chilling revelation, Mohammad Imran, charged in the murder of Muskan, carries a record of alarming criminal behavior. He faced a POCSO allegation in 2018 involving the harassment of a young minor and was later implicated in an assault case that rendered the victim comatose in 2021. Muskan had voiced concerns about harassment at home prior to her death.

A Pocso case. A man in coma. A murdered model: Delhi gym trainer's trail of violence

In 2018, a minor alleged that Mohammad Imran, a 26-year-old man also known as Aqib, sexually harassed him in Tilak Nagar, leading to Imran's arrest under the POCSO Act. In 2021, Imran was again involved in a violent incident, allegedly beating a man with a stone slab, causing severe head injuries and leaving him in a coma for six days.

Muskan, a 21-year-old woman and part-time model, was allegedly stabbed to death at her home in Tilak Nagar five years later. Imran had reportedly known Muskan for around 18 months and had a history of drug use, having been sent to a de-addiction center. He was found alive after an exchange of fire with police in Rajouri Garden, where he allegedly took Muskan's iPhone before fleeing the scene.

Police are now investigating Imran's previous cases and digital evidence as part of the murder probe.
