Delhi Police on Friday filed a chargesheet against a man in a court here for murdering a 21-year-old woman by stabbing her 22 times on a busy road in New Delhi in front of several onlookers last month.

The chargesheet was filed before a link magistrate who fixed the matter for tomorrow before the court concerned for the purpose of taking cognisance.

34-year-old Surender Singh, who was arrested on September 20 was named in the charge sheet for the offence of murder under section 302 of the IPC.

The accused is currently under judicial custody.

The brutal murder, which was captured in CCTV camera, took place on September 20 when Karuna Kumar, a teacher in a North Delhi school, was going for her work, police said, adding that Surender had been stalking her for over 18 months.

Police said Karuna, along with her cousin Neha, was on her way to work when Surender attacked her with a pair of scissors near Labour Chowk in Burari.

As Surender caught Karuna off guard and plunged the single blade of scissors in her body, a man rushed to stop him but soon backed off fearing attack on himself.

Within about three minutes, Surender had stabbed Karuna 22 times, as onlookers kept away, it said. Neha told police that she was also threatened by Surender and had to back off but she kept shouting for help.
