Delhi Police arrest three for alleged involvement in Ankit Saxena killing
New Delhi, Feb 3 (IBNS): Three people have been arrested for their involvement in the death of Ankit Saxena, who was allegedly killed by the family members of his Muslim girl friend, according to media reports on Saturdat.
Saxena, a 23 year old photographer, who was reportedly dating the 20-year old college student, had his throat slashed by the attackers, reports said.
According to reports, Saxena was attacked on Thursday night near his home by the girl's family.
The police have arrested the parents and an uncle of the girl and detained a minor allegedly involved in the incident, media reported.
It has been alleged that the girl's family was opposed to their relation as Saxena was a Hindu.
NDTV reported that at around 9 pm on Thursday, he was attacked and beaten and then was slashed with a knife. Ankit's mother reportedly ran out of her home when she was told that he had been attacked and told the police that she saw her son being beaten and stabbed by his girlfriend's family.
Police have stepped up security in the area to avoid any further conflict in the area.
