A 17-year-old boy, identified as Kunal, was stabbed to death in the Seelampur area in Delhi on Thursday night (April 18). ‘Lady Don’ Zikra was one of the four people detained after the fatal sting of the teenager. The first image of the ‘Lady Don’ after her arrest emerged on Saturday. The incident led to a protest march in the area. Posters with “Hindus migrate” and “please help, Yogi Ji” written on them, appeared in the area, which later removed the police. The case also caused a war war between the ruling BJP and the opposition monkey, with both sides blaming each other for the ‘weakened’ law and ordinary situation in the capital. Here’s all you need to know about the murder of Seelampur killed? A 17-year-old boy named Kunal was allegedly killed after he retired to buy milk to prepare tea for his sick father, police said. He was rushed to JPC Hospital in the area where doctors killed him, they added. Kunal Singh died at about 19.30am on Thursday, just a few meters from his home. He was allegedly killed by people belonging to another community. Who killed Kunal? The family members of the deceased claimed that Zikra, a local woman, ‘Lady Don’ in the area, was present at the crime scene when Kunal was killed, a senior police officer told Pti news agency. Police resources said while Zikra was arrested, her cousins Sahil Khan and Rihan Mirza were also detained for questioning. Police did not share the identity of the third detainee. “Ten teams have been formed to crack the case, and they are looking at all possible corners. We have held a few people for questioning. The case will be resolved soon,” the joint commissioner of police (eastern series), Pushpendra Kumar, told Pti. Why was Kunal killed? The victim’s family members claimed that some members of Kunal’s community attacked Zikra’s cousin, Sahil, who asked police to register an attempted murder case. Meanwhile, Parveen, the mother of the deceased, said, “Zikra has swept around with a gun in the area.” An incident happened to her cousin Sahil, but my son was not involved. They still killed him. They stabbed him more than several times. “The murder of Kunal could be a revenge on the incident,” sources told the news agency Pti. According to police, the accused gave Kunal a warning on Thursday morning before he carried out the murder that night. “The accused found Kunal across from a Shiv-Parvati Temple in the area. While two people stabbed him, two others looked,” the source said. Who is ‘Lady Don’ Zikra? Zikra worked as a bouncer for the woman’s wife of gangster Hashim baby, Zoya, before the latter’s arrest by Delhi police in a drug case, Pti reports. She allegedly lived with Zoya before the latter was jailed. Zikra is believed to try to form her own gang following the arrest of Zoya. “Zikra had ambitions to launch her own gang. She wanted to get near Hashim baby through Zoya and also wanted to get involved with her drug industry. However, her plans had a setback after the arrest of Zoya, who helped her acquire weapon and ammunition,” the source said. Zikra reportedly led a gang of 10-12 young men, some of which are now appearing in connection with the murder of Kunal. Her social media feed is filled with videos showing her fire heaps with the burns. She had more than 15,000 followers, the source said. She was previously arrested under the Arms Act after posting a video with a gun on social media. On bail, she lived in a rented accommodation near Kunal’s home.
