Main accused in Radhika murder case arrested
March 12th, 2011 - 2:53 pm ICT by ANIMumbai/New Delhi, Mar 12 (ANI): Delhi Police have arrested the main accused in the Delhi University student Radhika Tanwar murder case.
Reports said Vijay alias Ram Singh was arrested from Vikroli, Mumbai, on Friday night by a special team of the Delhi Police.
The team went to Mumbai after getting a tip-off from Vijay’s two friends — Tabrez and Ashraf - who were arrested from Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur.
The duo allegedly harboured and helped him flee the capital on March 10, two days after Radhika was shot dead.
“He nurtured deep grudge against Radhika after he was beaten up for harassing her and used to tell his friends that whenever he gets an opportunity, he will take revenge. He felt insulted and left for Mumbai,” H.G.S. Dhaliwal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), had said yesterday.
Dhaliwal said investigations in Viswan village of Sitapur from where Vijay hails have revealed that he has a psychopathic streak and is learnt to have been involved in stalking women in his village.
He returned to the capital at least 45 days ago and had followed Radhika at least twice allegedly with an intention to kill her.
Radhika was shot while walking across a pedestrian bridge near South Delhi’s Ramlal Anand College on Tuesday morning, where she was enrolled. (ANI)
