Lady Don arrested in Delhi for murder of 17-year-old boy
Delhi/Hyderabad, April 19 (Maxim News): Delhi Police have arrested 25-year-old Zikra Khan, who calls herself ‘Lady Don‘, in connection with the murder of a 17-year-old boy, Kunal, in New Delhi’s Seelampur area. Kunal was stabbed to death a few metres from his house at around 6 pm on Thursday. According to police, the incident took place to avenge an old dispute.
Police say Zikra Khan has confessed to his involvement in the murder during interrogation. Following the incident, Kunal’s family and residents of the neighborhood protested until late at night, prompting the deployment of security forces in the area.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta assured the victim’s family of justice. “I have spoken to the police commissioner, the police are doing their best, and I hope the culprits will be arrested soon,” she said.
According to the police, the fight began in November 2024, when one of Kunal’s associates attacked a man. Kunal was also present at the scene. On Thursday evening, the accused stopped Kunal in the market, about 50 meters from his house, and two youths stabbed him repeatedly. The incident was recorded on a nearby CCTV.
“My husband ran towards where Kunal was being attacked, but by the time he reached, the attackers had fled. He saw four or five boys and a woman running away,” said Kunal’s mother, Parveen Devi.
The injured Kunal was taken to Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital, where he died during treatment in front of his parents.
“He was lying in blood, and we were there. But the attack was so brutal that no one could do anything,” Parveen Devi added.
Police have arrested three others in the murder case, including Zikra Khan. According to police, Zikra worked as a bodyguard for the wife of notorious gangster Hashim Baba, and is known as the ‘Lady Don’ in Seelampur. (Maxim News)
