A 16‑year‑old girl in Punjab allegedly recruited a group of boys, gave them a contract to beat her former boyfriend, and the victim was beaten to death.
Police investigations in Punjab have uncovered a gruesome murder involving a teenage girl and her former boyfriend. According to the FIR, the 16‑year‑old girl, upset over a breakup, assembled several boys and offered them a "supari" – a payment to assault her ex‑partner.
The hired group confronted the boyfriend, subjected him to repeated blows, and continued the assault until he succumbed to his injuries. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and the perpetrators fled before authorities arrived.
Local police have detained the girl and the boys involved, and the case is being treated as a pre‑meditated homicide. Investigators are probing the motive, the amount of money exchanged, and any prior threats that may have led to the fatal encounter.
The incident has sparked concern among community leaders about the rising influence of youth gangs and the use of contract killings in personal disputes. The police have urged residents to report similar threats and assured that a thorough inquiry will be conducted.
Legal proceedings are expected to commence shortly, with the accused facing charges of murder, criminal conspiracy, and abetment of a violent crime under the Indian Penal Code.
