The victim, who has been identified as Sakshi, was walking home from school when she was attacked by a man who was later identified as Sahil Khan. Khan, who is 20 years old, was reportedly Sakshi's boyfriend. The two had been dating for a few months, but Sakshi had recently decided to break up with him.

In a statement, the Delhi Police said that they are committed to bringing the perpetrators of such crimes to justice. They also urged people to come forward and report any incidents of violence against women.
The murder of Sakshi is a reminder of the dangers that women face in India. It is also a reminder that we need to do more to protect women from violence.
