The police interrogated Sahil, who had a break-up with the victim and was further infuriated with the fight the two had. During the overnight interrogation, Sahil told the police that he did not have any regrets over his action. A preliminary probe into the gruesome murder has revealed that the break up and the fight with the victim triggered Sahil to launch the fatal assault.
According to police sources, Sahil after committing the murder switched off his mobile phone and changed two buses to reach Bulandshahr, from where he was nabbed. Police have also revealed that the accused after killing the girl, went to Rithala, where he dumped his weapon and then changed two buses to reach Bulandshahr, where was was hiding at his aunt's residence. A phone call by Sahil's aunt to his father, informing about his sudden arrival, helped police to nab the accused.
