The Delhi Police on Wednesday recreated the scene of
crime at the same by-lane in northwest Delhi's Shahbad Dairy where
20-year-old Sahil killed a minor girl, officials said.
Sixteen-year-old Sakshi was stabbed over 20 times and then bludgeoned
with a cement slab, killing her on the spot.
She was found to have 34
injury marks on her body and her skull was smashed in.
Sahil was
arrested from Bulandshahar in Uttar Pradesh on Monday.
He was taken to
the spot in the early hours of Wednesday, the police said.
"Due to
security concerns, Sahil was taken to the spot in the early hours of
Wednesday morning. We recreated the scene of the crime to understand and
establish the sequence of events and how he executed the crime and what
he did thereafter," a senior police officer.
Sahil allegedly threw
away the knife used to kill Sakshi into the bushes in Rithala. It is yet
to be recovered, he said.
The police had earlier said Sahil got drunk
on Sunday afternoon and in the evening confronted Sakshi, who was on her
way to the birthday party of her friend's child after changing clothes
in a public convenience.
After killing her, Sahil went to a nearby park
and sat there for a while.
Later, he went to the metro station at
Rithala where he claimed to have thrown the knife in the nearby bushes.
He then took a bus to Bulandshahr from the Anand Vihar ISBT, the police
said.
A call to his home led to his arrest.
On Tuesday, Sahil was
produced at a Delhi court here which sent him in police remand for two
days. -- PTI
