In a clothing showroom in West Delhi's Moti Nagar, a 29-year-old man named Suraj is seen assaulting an 18-year-old employee named Shabnam in CCTV footage. Shabnam, who worked at the store near Moti Nagar Metro Station, can be heard screaming and attempting to flee as the man repeatedly strikes her. At one point, she sits down to shield herself but Suraj continues his assault, eventually dragging her by her hair into a trial room where he allegedly cuts her throat.
Police arrested Suraj on Sunday and are questioning him to determine the motive behind the murder, including a possible fallout from a romantic relationship, according to a police officer. Shabnam's body was discovered by staff later that evening, with injury marks on her neck from a sharp-edged weapon and a blood-stained knife nearby.
The incident is under investigation, including allegations of prior assault by the accused against the victim.
