A 23-year-old photographer, Ankit Saxena was killed by the family of his Muslim girlfriend in Delhi on 3rd February 2018 on a street near his home in the city’s west.

The man, Ankit Saxena, had been dating the 20-year-old woman for the past three years, against the wishes of her family because they are from different communities, according to the police. Instead of taking sensible measures, the family resorted to violence that took the life of a young boy.

The woman’s mother, father and uncle have been arrested. The woman’s underage brother, who was also involved in the public killing, has also been detained.

Around 9 pm last night, Ankit was attacked allegedly by his girlfriend’s parents, uncle and brother. Ankit was beaten and then slashed with a knife. There was a pool of blood on the road where the crime took place.
“During the investigation, we found that they caught and stabbed Ankit in the neck. The woman’s family was against their relationship as they belonged to different communities and had warned Ankit against associating with her,” senior police officer Vijay Kumar said.
