Radhika case: main suspect held in Mumbai


New Delhi: The main suspect in the Radhika Tanwar murder, Vijay alias Ram Singh was arrested in Mumbai late on Friday night from Vikroli station. Police is now bringing him to Delhi on Saturday from Mumbai, where he fled to four days back after killing Radhika on Tuesday.
Radhika, a Delhi University student, was shot dead on Tuesday in Dhaula Kuan.
The 20-year-old student fell prey to the bullets of her alleged stalker Ram Singh alias Vijay on a foot-over-bridge outside Ramlal Anand College in south Delhi's Dhaula Kuan on Tuesday.
According to investigators, Vijay allegedly followed Radhika at least twice with an intention to kill her in the past one month, the last one being three days before her murder.
Vijay allegedly nurtured "deep grudge" against Radhika after he was beaten up for harassing her three-and-half-years ago and used to tell his friends that whenever he would get an opportunity, he would take revenge. He felt insulted and left Delhi's Naraina for Mumbai.
"We have learnt that a month ago, he had boarded a bus in which the victim was travelling. However, he could not execute his plans. Last Saturday, he followed her on the foot-over-bridge," HGS Dhaliwal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), told reporters.
“The accused had psychopathic obsession since 2007 which was one sided and was working in Mumbai but would always come to Delhi and follow her” Said BK Gupta.
Radhika had told her friends about it but unfortunately the girl had not shared this with the family members.
Dhaliwal said, "It was a massive operation. We had to verify details of more than 2000 workers, 19 teams consisting of 300 policemen worked on arresting the accused."
