Police said Sahil, who worked as an aircon repairman, and the deceased had a strained relationship.
The latter apparently wanted to end the relationship and ignored his calls.
It led to him threatening to kill her. Just a few days before the murder, Sahil had allegedly threatened her with a toy gun.

Following this, Sahil took a concrete slab and slammed it over the victim’s head multiple times, even walking away and returning to do so again.
“We found that he went to Rithala after the incident to dump the weapon. After this, he switched off his phone and boarded a bus to Bulandshahr,” The Indian Express reported a Delhi police officer as saying.
“He went to his aunt’s place and was later traced with the help of technical surveillance.”
The murder weapon has not been found.

The victim’s body was medically examined and found to have over 34 wounds.
Around 20 were stab wounds, while the slab ruptured her skull.
Police are investigating why it took 25 to 30 minutes before anyone called emergency services or the police.
“It was a police informer who saw the body lying on the street and called us at 9.35 pm. None of the locals took any action.”
According to CCTV footage, the attack took place at around 8.45pm.
Police said they rushed to the spot “within minutes” of receiving the call.
16-year-old had been living at friend’s place
According to the girl’s friend, the victim had been living at her place for the past 15 days.
“She told me a few days back that she was in a relationship with Sahil and was having a fight with him, but I did not ask further as it was her personal matter,” the friend said, according to The Indian Express.
An officer said that the accused knew where the victim was.
He posited that Sahil found out where she was through her friends and common acquaintances.
