NEW DELHI: A day after the shocking case of the murder of a 17-year-old in a Mercedes car in Najafgarh came to the fore, the police are yet to make any major headway in the case as the main accused in the case, Shubham is yet to be traced.

The police have now constituted several raiding teams and are scouring through the city in a bid to apprehend Shubham. Furthermore, the police have questioned Shubham’s parents to trace his whereabouts.

“We have conducted multiple raids at Shubham’s relative’s house in Bahadurgarh and other places in Delhi. His parents are also absconding after the murder. We have grilled four of his friends for questioning but have been released later,” said a senior police official.

He added that police are conducting raids on the basis of technical surveillance and inputs gathered after questioning Shubham’s relatives and friends. The victim’s body was handed over to his family after autopsy.

“We haven’t given a clean chit to Yogesh and Nitin, who were also present at the spot when the victim was shot dead by Shubham inside the car. There roles will be verified and cross examined after Shubham gets arrested,” the police official added.
