The juvenile was arrested on allegations of murdering his tutor by slitting the tutor’s throat. The motive behind the act, as reported by Delhi police on Saturday, September 2, 2023, was that the tutor Wasim had allegedly been sexually assaulting the arrested juvenile repeatedly.

Delhi police said, “During the investigation on the basis of surveillance, it emerged that the deceased Wasim was engaged in homosexual activity with a juvenile and was repeatedly sexually assaulting him. The deceased had made a video of the juvenile and threatened him to release the video on social media if he did not oblige him.”

According to police officials, on August 30, 2023, the deceased called the juvenile to his one-room residence with the alleged intention of sexually assaulting him.

Delhi police further said, “The minor was fed up with his repeated assault and had planned to eliminate the molester. On finding an opportune moment, the minor who was carrying a sharp paper cutter, slit the throat of the deceased and fled from the spot. The juvenile has been apprehended.”
