Teen found murdered in Delhi's Seelampur park; two suspects detained
New Delhi (PTI): Two people, including a minor, have been apprehended for the murder of a 16-year-old boy at a public park in northeast Delhi's Seelampur, an official said on Saturday.
The incident came to light around 11:30 pm on Thursday, when police, during routine patrolling, entered the Central Park in Seelampur and discovered the blood-soaked body of the teenager, identified as Rehan alias Seelampuriya, lying between a bench and a walkway, he said.
"The police immediately alerted the local police station, following which senior officers and a police team reached the spot. The victim was rushed to the JPC Hospital, where doctors declared him dead," a senior police officer said.
A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS at the Seelampur police station.
Crime and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) teams inspected the scene and collected evidence. Multiple teams were formed to identify and apprehend the culprits, police said.
"Two suspects, including a minor, have been detained. They are being questioned in connection with the incident," the officer added.
