NEW DELHI: A 20-year-old girl was shot and killed by an alleged stalker in Faridabad on Monday afternoon.
One of the two defendants, Taufiq, has been arrested, police said.
The incident took place around 3.45 pm, when the girl, Nikita Tomar, left her university after taking her exam. I was studying at Bcom last year.
As the girl left Aggarwal University with her friend, an i20 car with two occupants inside pulled up beside her.
One of the accused tried to pull her and opened fire when she resisted and raised the alarm. The girl was shot in the chest and fell while bleeding heavily.
The shooter and his partner got into their car and drove away.
The shooter, sources said, studied with Tomar up to class X and had kidnapped her in 2017 in what police said was a one-sided love story. The family had filed a FIR but later dropped the case due to social stigma and supposedly to keep their daughter out of any legal proceedings. However, the accused continued to harass her.
Tomar lived with his family in Sector 23 in Ballabgarh. The police are looking for the second defendant.
