As per the initial investigation in the case, Delhi Police Special CP Dependra Pathak said,

As per the information as of now, they (Sahil-Sakshi) knew each other and there was some quarrel or they parted ways. The accused (Sahil) had a grudge and he did this kind of gruesome murder. It’s a crime of passion. Further probe is being done.”

A case under Section 32 (muder) of the Indian Penal Code was registered by Sakshi’s father at the Shahbad Dairy police station.

Sahil’s Arrest

Sahil escaped from the spot soon after committing the crime. He headed to his home first, where he kept his phone, and later went to the Kashmiri Gate Bus Stand from where he took a bus to his aunt (Bua) Shamim’s house. After reaching his aunt’s house, Sahil called his mother and described the entire incident to her. After Sakshi’s father registered a complaint against Sahil at the Shahbad Dairy police station, Delhi police started searching for him. On 29 May 2023, Sahil was arrested from Aterna village in Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh after a call from his aunt to his father was traced by the Delhi Police.
