During further investigation, it was revealed that she had been in touch with one of her friends following which the boy was called for questioning. The boy initially said that they had gone to an ice-cream parlour together and from there, he had returned home but on sustained questioning the boy revealed that he had murdered the girl, said Ms Yadav.
The boy told the police that he knew the girl from common tuition classes and recently got in touch with her and they started meeting frequently. He confessed to holding a grudge against the victim due to an incident which had happened in their tuition class for which he was reprimanded,” the DCP added.
“He had planned to take revenge on her. On March 16, he took her to a movie.
