NEW DELHI: An 18-year-old woman working at a clothing showroom in west Delhi's Moti Nagar was allegedly murdered after her throat was slit inside a trial room on Saturday evening, police said.
Investigators suspect the murder may have stemmed from unrequited love and strained personal relations.
According to news agency PTI, the victim, identified as Shabnam, worked at a showroom near Moti Nagar Metro Station and lived with her family in west Delhi.
According to the preliminary investigation, the accused, who allegedly knew Shabnam and had been friends with her, reached the showroom around the time her shift was due to end on Saturday.
He allegedly took her into a trial room and attacked her neck with a sharp-edged weapon before fleeing, police said.
The two had reportedly been on friendly terms earlier, but their relationship had soured over the past few months. Police suspect that a fallout in their personal relationship may have led to the murder.
An eyewitness, Ashu, told news agency IANS, Shabnam was last seen sitting at the showroom around 6.45 pm.
