Kunal Singh fatally stabbed near his home, sparking protests; woman arrested, gang connections revealed, police investigation ongoing.

Delhi Police has arrested a woman, who worked as a bouncer for jailed gangster Hashim Baba's wife, and detained three others in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old boy in north-east Delhi's Seelampur area, an official said on Friday (April 18, 2025).

Kunal Singh was killed around 7.30 p.m. on Thursday, just a few metres from his house, after he stepped out to buy milk to prepare tea for his ailing father, police said.

He was rushed to the JPC Hospital located nearby where doctors declared him brought dead, they added.

As the news of the murder spread, tension gripped the area as hundreds of locals and members of several Hindu outfits staged protests through Friday, demanding immediate arrest of the culprits involved in the killing.

The family members of the deceased claimed that Zikra, the arrested woman known locally as 'lady don', was present at the crime scene when Kunal was killed, a senior police officer said.

Police sources said while Zikra has been taken into custody, her cousins Sahil Khan and Rihan Mirza have been detained for questioning. Police have not shared the identity of the third detainee.

Zikra was previously arrested under the Arms Act after posting a video with a pistol on social media. Out on bail, she was living in a rented accommodation near Kunal's house.
