The case came to light following a tip-off received by the Special Staff of the Outer North district. The killing had not been previously reported to the police before the information was received.

According to police officials, after receiving the intelligence regarding the alleged murder, the Special Staff team worked to verify the details and laid a trap to apprehend the suspect. During initial questioning, the accused allegedly admitted his involvement in the girl's murder.

The suspect subsequently led investigators to Ajit Vihar in Burari, where the victim's body had been concealed inside a suitcase. Police reached the site and recovered the body, which was later sent for necessary legal and post-mortem procedures.

The accused relative was formally taken into custody. Following the recovery of the body, the matter was transferred to the Burari police station, where a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered for further investigation.

Investigators are currently working to determine the exact motive behind the killing and piece together the full sequence of events. Officials are questioning the accused to establish how the girl was killed and how her body was placed and hidden inside the suitcase.

Forensic teams and investigators have gathered evidence from the scene in Ajit Vihar where the suitcase was found. Police stated that the physical and forensic evidence, combined with the disclosures made during custodial interrogation, will form the basis of the ongoing investigation. The accused remains in police custody as further legal action continues.
