Four minors kill 16yrold for dating friend’s cousin

NEW DELHI: Refusal to call off his relationship with his friend’s cousin despite repeated threats was what cost 16-year-old Jatin his life in outer Delhi’s Kanjhawala on Friday, police said after apprehending four juveniles allegedly involved in the brutal murder.

Jatin was found with his throat slit in an abandoned house in Kanjhawala on Friday. He had been tied to a chair using wires and his mouth was taped. The police on Sunday apprehended four boys, aged between 16 and 17, for the murder.

Explaining the reason for the brutal nature of the murder, Virendra Singh Meena, additional DCP (outer), said that the main killer could not digest that Jatin was in love with his cousin.

Working as a security guard in the neighbourhood, Jatin’s father struggled to run his family that included his wife and five kids.
