New Delhi: Three more people, including a juvenile, have been apprehended in connection with the killing of a first-year Delhi University student, officials said on Wednesday, as reported by the news agency PTI. Apart from the juvenile, the other two apprehended have been identified as Yash (18) and Taleem (19), both students of the School of Open Learning, police said. Earlier, two people were arrested in the case. They were Rahul, a first-year student who lived in Delhi's Bindapur area, and his friend Haroon (19), a resident of Janakpuri who worked at a T-shirt factory.

The victim, Nikhil Chauhan, a student of DU's School of Open Learning, was stabbed to death on Sunday outside the Aryabhatta College in the South Campus area after he objected to his girlfriend being allegedly harassed by another student. After family members of Nikhil Chauhan alleged that his murder was pre-planned, police said the angle of conspiracy will be verified after the arrest of other persons involved in the case, as reported by PTI.

Earlier, AamAadmi Party's chief spokesperson, Priyanka Kakkar, said at a press conference, "Why is it happening in Delhi again and again? Law and order in Delhi come under a government that boosts the morale of criminals. Criminals who are declared absconders by the police appear on BJP forums after a few months." The AAP leader further said, "They are not scared of the law. We have been asking the L-G about how many PCR vans have increased in Delhi and how many police stations he has visited. But he does not answer."

Notably, the Lt Governor has control over public order, land, and police in the national capital. Meanwhile, the victim's father broke down on Monday while talking to reporters.
