Police shot and captured Imran, the prime suspect in model Muskan's murder, after a night‑long manhunt in Delhi. Investigators are probing a hotel meeting between the accused and the victim that preceded the killing.
Delhi police said they cornered Imran, the man accused of murdering 22‑year‑old model Muskan, during a late‑night operation on Saturday. The suspect, who had been under a de‑addiction programme after Muskan's family complained of his harassment, was shot in the leg during the encounter before being taken into custody.
According to officials, Imran had been removed from a gym earlier due to his heavy drug dependence and was later sent to a rehabilitation centre. The family of Muskan had approached the police alleging repeated harassment, prompting the authorities to monitor his movements.
Investigators are now focusing on a meeting that took place at a Delhi hotel a few days before Muskan's death, where the accused and the victim reportedly discussed personal matters. The police are examining CCTV footage and witness statements to establish whether the meeting was a prelude to the crime.
The case has drawn significant media attention, with the public demanding swift justice for the slain model. Imran remains in police custody and will face charges of murder, along with possible drug‑related offences.
Further details will emerge as the investigation proceeds and the court schedules a hearing for the accused.
