Seelampur murder case: Locals in the Seelampur area continued their protest from last night against the stabbing of the 17-year-old boy in the area, blocking roads and holding signs demanding justice for the boy.
Lady don’ Zikra has been arrested in connection with the murder of a 17-year-old boy in Delhi’s Seelampur, the Delhi Police said on Friday (April 18). Earlier, three people were detained in connection with the Seelampur murder case. “Zikra’s cousin, Sahil, was also in touch with the police,” the Delhi Police said. According to the police, once the main accused is caught, it will become clear what role each person played in the Seelampur murder case. At present, 10 police teams are conducting raids in search of the accused.
Kunal Singh was killed around 7.30 pm on Thursday, just a few metres from his house, after he stepped out to buy milk to prepare tea for his ailing father.
Delhi CM on Seelampur murder case
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta earlier said that justice will be served for the 17-year-old boy, who was attacked by knives and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital. The teenager, who was killed in the J block of Seelampur, has been identified as Kunal.
“I have spoken to the Police commissioner on the murder of a 17-year-old boy, Kunal. He was attacked by knives and was rushed to the Jai Prakash hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival,” Gupta told media.
Who is Zikra?
Popularly known as ‘Lady Don’, Zikra is feared in the neighbourhood for her close links with criminal gangs, frequent flaunting of firearms on social media, and openly defying the law in the streets. According to locals and law enforcement sources, Zikra is not just an independent criminal figure but is also connected to the underworld. She was reportedly employed as a bouncer by Zoya, the wife of gangster Hashim Baba, one of Delhi’s well-known criminal figures. She is also reportedly involved in many illegal activities, including gun-related offences, and has earned a reputation for violence and intimidation.
Zikra has multiple cases filed against her and was recently arrested under the Arms Act after posting an Instagram reel where she was seen waving a pistol.

Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva appealed to the people to maintain peace in the area. “Police have arrested all the criminals in such cases that have happened in the last few days. In this case, too, both of them are declared criminals. We need to maintain peace right now,” he said.
The mother of a 17-year-old boy who was stabbed to death in the Seelampur area of the national capital said that she had not been given any updates from the police, earlier alleging complicity by the authorities in catching the culprits and allowing the perpetrators to flee the area.
“My son had a fight a few days ago. There was some incident, and my son was just standing there and watching as he got beaten up; they gave him threats. We had taken him to the hospital; we had not eaten anything for two days. When my kid came back, he had asked for a samosa and milk and had gone out to get the food. He went out around 7 o’clock, and by 7:15, we got the news that our son had been stabbed,” the mother told media.
