A shocking incident unfolded in South Delhi’s Neb Sarai, where a 20-year-old state-level boxer, Arjun Kumar, allegedly murdered his parents and elder sister in the early hours of Wednesday. The brutal act, reportedly driven by deep-seated family disputes and personal frustrations, has left the community in shock.
Incident Details
The crime occurred on the day of the victims’ wedding anniversary. Arjun allegedly used his father’s army knife to carry out the murders, starting with his sister on the ground floor before moving upstairs to attack his father and mother. According to police, the accused was motivated by humiliation and perceived favoritism towards his sister.
Police Investigation
Police received a distress call at 6 a.m. and arrived at the scene to find Rajesh Kumar (51), Komal (46), and Kavita (23) dead with fatal stab wounds. Initially, Arjun claimed he was out for a morning walk, but his conflicting statements and an injury on his hand raised suspicion. He later confessed to the crime.
Chief Minister Atishi’s Response
Chief Minister Atishi condemned the incident, criticizing the BJP-led Central Government for its alleged failure to maintain security in Delhi. “Murders are happening in broad daylight, bullets are being fired, and drugs are being sold openly. The Central Government has completely failed in its responsibility to protect the people of Delhi,” she stated on social media platform X.
