Delhi Police have cracked the murder case of a 16-year-old boy, Rehan alias Seelampuriya, by arresting five accused, including three juveniles, for allegedly killing him in a Seelampur park due to rival gang tensions.
On the night of May 16, a police patrol discovered Rehan’s blood-soaked body lying between a park bench and a pathway. He was taken to Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.
According to officials, Rehan had recently shifted allegiance from one criminal group to a rival gang, triggering internal conflicts. The suspects lured him to the park under the pretext of resolving the issue. When Rehan resisted, he was brutally attacked with stones, broken bricks, and a shaving blade.
