It is now known that the accused knew her daily routine and had planned the murder three days prior. Nargis no longer returned his calls. In an effort to approach her, he started tailing her. Irfan expressed to the police his dismay and anger about this, which was made worse by the fact that nobody else was willing to marry him, reported NDTV. In Malviya Nagar, Nargis was enrolled in a stenography course, and the police discovered that she had recently graduated from Kamala Nehru College. Irfan claimed he went to the park yesterday knowing that Nargis would cross the street there on her way home from her stenography class and that he had planned the murder three days prior. Around noon, she was walking through the park when Irfan called her in and asked to speak to her. When she refused, he allegedly took an iron rod out of his backpack and struck her, according to the police.

The police also disclosed that the woman’s and the accused’s relatives had previously discussed their marriage. The woman’s family, however, rejected the proposal after finding out that the accused was not working. The 28-year-old accused was a Swiggy delivery person in the past. He felt as though his chances of being married were dwindling after the denial, despite the fact that his younger brother’s marriage had already been finalised. Nargis’s brother Sameer said, “Around six months ago, our family turned down the marriage proposal of the accused. My sister did not want to marry him. Irfan is from Auraiya in Uttar Pradesh and came to our house around five to six years ago. My father trained him as a mechanic.” “When he started harassing my sister, she complained to my father who scolded him and sent him to his native place. He went back to Auraiya around one-and-a-half years ago where he started his own work. However, when his business did not work, he returned to Delhi and started living in the Sangam Vihar area,” Sameer said, according to PTI. Sameer added, “He (Irfan) knew that Nargis used to go for steno coaching classes every day. He stalked her for many days and killed her at a park on Friday.” Also read: Delhi murder case: How police arrested the man who killed his 16-year-old girlfriend Nargis was prepping for government job exams Nargis wanted to become financially independent and was preparing for government job examinations, her family said on Friday. “My sister was a bright student.

Her father Suljat, who works as a motor mechanic, said she was her only daughter. He has two sons. “I want justice for her,” he said, adding, “The accused should get strict punishment.
