A day after a 24-year-old man allegedly stabbed a 17-year-old girl before killing himself, the girl succumbed to injuries on Saturday. Police said the two were friends for two years and it is suspected that they had a fight after which the man attacked her on Friday, went home and set off an LPG blast.<\/p>\n The minor, a resident of Old Seemapuri, is survived by her parents and two siblings. Her parents said she had appeared for class 10 examinations and wished to join a coaching centre to appear for competitive exams.<\/p>\n The suspect was a delivery executive with an e-commerce company and lived in New Seemapuri area.<\/p>\n A senior police officer said, \u201cOn Friday, the girl had called the man near a temple to resolve a fight. As per CCTV\u2009footage from the neighbourhood and local inquiry, they were seen talking normally but after some time an argument broke out. The man pulled out a knife from his pocket and stabbed the girl multiple times. She collapsed on the street and he ran away.\u201d<\/p>\n Deputy commissioner of police (Shahdara) Rajendra Prasad Meena said, a call about the incident was made around 5.30pm. \u201cThe girl sustained multiple stab injuries. We found that a man attacked her after fighting with her. She was sent to GTB Hospital and admitted for further treatment. On Friday, she was unfit for statement and died on Saturday. A case of murder has been lodged,\u201d the DCP said.<\/p>\n Within an hour, police were informed about fire in a house in\u2009Seemapuri at around 6.20pm. DCP Meena said the suspect ran to his house in C Block Seemapuri, shut the doors and allegedly started a fire by opening the LPG cylinder and using a lighter. His mother was out for work at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n Both the families are clueless about their friendship or a fight. \u201cShe told me yesterday that she wanted to meet a friend. I didn\u2019t know she was going to meet him. I knew him but I didn\u2019t know they were close. I think more people are involved in the stabbing. It looks like my daughter was targeted. Why would anyone kill her ? She had no issues with anyone. Police should properly investigate,\u201d the girl\u2019s mother said.<\/p>\n Her father said she was so brutally attacked that she could not even talk to them. \u201dWe were informed about the stabbing in the evening. She was the brightest. We want justice for our daughter. I don\u2019t know who the boy is or why he killed her,\u201d her father added.<\/p>\n The man\u2019s mother, a single parent, said, \u201cMy son was my everything. I didn\u2019t even know he was inside the house at the time of fire. My neighbours called me in the evening and told me that my house was on fire. I thought it was a small fire and will be fixed. When I reached, they told me my son\u2019s charred body was inside. I don\u2019t think he killed himself. People are accusing him of stabbing someone but he never hurt anyone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Police said mobile phones of both the deceased are being checked and local inquiry has been initiated.<\/p>\n \u201cPrima facie, it\u2019s not a case of stalking but a relationship dispute. The man brutally stabbed her and already had a knife with him. There was some fight. The two have been friends for two years. After killing her, he didn\u2019t stop anywhere or called anyone. He just went home and committed suicide,\u201d another officer said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Police](\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/ht-img\/img\/2026\/04\/04\/550x309\/Police-said-a-case-has-been-registered--Photo-for-_1775327126618.jpg\" "\\"Police")
