When speaking to the media on Monday, the father of Nikhil Chauhan, a 19-year-old Delhi University student who was allegedly fatally stabbed on Sunday by four individuals outside Aryabhatta College in South Campus, sobbed. The victim’s father alleged that the Delhi Police had not yet contacted the family of his son’s passing.
Sanjay, Nikhil’s father, stated in a statement to the news agency ANI, “Police have not yet informed us. Up until now, we haven’t spoken with the police. I got a call from the students who drove my son to the hospital yesterday at 12 o’clock. These students were detained by police all night at the station.
Nikhil, a resident of Paschim Vihar, was enrolled at the School of Open Learning to pursue a BA (Hons) in Political Science.
Earlier today, Nikhil’s father also disclosed to the media that the police had contacted the family on Monday morning but had refused to let them inside. We have been standing outside since 7:45 am, and neither they nor anybody else was calling us inside.
Delhi Police is investigating
Teams have been formed to find the suspects, according to the police, who also stated that the accused have been identified and CCTV cameras located at the crime scene and nearby are being inspected to determine the sequence of events.
According to the police, an inquiry found that Nikhil and two classmates, Rahul and Yash, got into a fight a week earlier, and they sought retaliation on Sunday.
South West Delhi DCP Nikhil Chauhan, a first-year student at the School of Open Learning, was identified as the victim when police arrived, according to Manoj C, who spoke to ANI. Further research found that Chauhan and Rahul and Yash got into a fight a week prior. Rahul, Yash, and others came here yesterday to exact retribution. Nikhil Chauhan was knifed by them. Rahul and his friend Haroon are the two persons we’ve taken into custody. Others have also been recognised by us. We’ll also detain them.
“About a week ago, one of the college students misbehaved with his girlfriend,” he continued. Nikhil was stabbed on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. by the main defendant from the same college and three other people.
DCW sends a warning
The Delhi Police received a notice about the incident on Monday from the Delhi Commission of Women (DCW).
“The Delhi Women Commission is issuing a notice to the Delhi Police,” said Swati Maliwal, the head of the Delhi Commission for Women. This episode is not unique; similar incidents occur frequently. Crimes are occurring in broad daylight. In Delhi, nobody is secure. The Central government, to which the Delhi Police is accountable, must become aware.
Nikhil had a trip to Mumbai planned: the victim’s father
Sanjay Chauhan, Nikhil’s father, stated, “Nikhil received a call from Mumbai a while back asking him to do some modelling, but at the time his exam was going on, so I had asked him to appear for the exam first. After finishing his first semester exam, Nikhil entered the second semester. I was all ready to send him to Mumbai right away, but everything fell through.
Chauhan was unaware of the defendant or that Nikhil was involved in a fight with a fellow student.
He was stabbed close to the heart, and the bleeding caused him to pass away immediately.
