New Delhi: Delhi Police have identified the man they accuse of murdering 20-year-old Radhika Tanwar as Vijay alias Ram Singh, a "mentally unstable" man who might have been involved in such an incident before.
Click to Expand & PlayRadhika Tanwar was shot on Tuesday morning as she was crossing a pedestrian bridge outside Ram Lal Anand College in South Delhi's Dhaula Kuan. For 10 minutes, not one passerby volunteered to take her to hospital. The man who fired at her managed to run away. He is still absconding.
The police said they believe this man is Vijay, who changed his name after coming to Delhi. They said he is 25 or 26-years-old, has four brothers, could have been involved in another such violent incident in his family and that he does not go back home often.
Radhika's family had earlier identified a police sketch as that of a man who stalked her for three years.
This morning, the police detained two men - Ashraf and Tabrez - who they said had confessed to helping Vijay escape two days after he allegedly killed Radhika. The men have reportedly told the police that Radhika had slapped Vijay a few weeks ago and he wanted to take revenge for his public humiliation. The police say the version of these men corroborates with their investigations so far.
The family had not filed a complaint against the stalker, but had informally warned him to stay away from Radhika, say sources.
