New Delhi: A 15-year-old girl, who was stabbed in northeast Delhi’s Seemapuri on Friday, succumbed to her injuries at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital on Saturday morning. The 24-year-old accused died soon after the incident when a gas cylinder exploded at a nearby house on Friday evening. The girl was declared brought dead at the hospital around 6 am. Outside his home, family members recalled him going out to buy medicine from a nearby store during the attack. Her grandmother wept helplessly, repeating: “Bas 5 minutes keh kar gai thi, abhi tak lauti na (He left saying he would be back in five minutes; he still hasn’t returned).”Her uncle also told TOI that she was bleeding for more than 20 minutes before help arrived. “The fury and brutality with which he was stabbed is unbelievable. He was stabbed more than a dozen times,” he said. The teenager had recently appeared for her class 10 board exams and was awaiting her results.“We were all waiting for his results. We were very hopeful for his future,” he said, adding that residents now fear for their safety after the murder. Friends and family remembered him as beloved for his kindness. His aunt said, “We don’t know why someone wanted to hurt him. We are yet to be informed of any clear motive.” The girl is survived by her grandmother, mother, father and her younger sister. At the man’s residence, about 2 km away, relatives claimed that he caused the blast by suicide. They described him as an introvert. The man worked as a delivery executive for an e-commerce company. “He never talked about any girls or mental health issues, including depression or anger,” his mother said. He kept most of it to himself.”

Both families were aware.” But the exact motive is under investigation. The two were said to have spoken on the telephone before the incident.Another officer said, “They knew each other since two years ago when the person’s aunt was the girl’s next-door neighbour.” He confirmed that the man himself is believed to have carried out the blast.
