Delhi: 14-year-old boy allegedly kills tutor for sexually assaulting him

A 14-year-old has been detained for allegedly killing his 28-year-old tutor who sexually assaulted him on several occasions, police said on Saturday.

The boy was apprehended on Friday, three days after he allegedly murdered the man using a sharp weapon in an act of revenge, they added.

The police said they received information around 2.15 pm on Wednesday that an apartment on the second floor of a building at Jamia Nagar, Batla House, was found open with blood splattered outside it.

When the police reached the flat, they found the man's body lying on the floor with deep cut injuries on his neck, they said.

The one-room apartment where the body was found was owned by the deceased's family and had been vacated by a tenant only a few days ago, the officer said.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the deceased met the teenaged boy around two months ago, following which he allegedly sexually assaulted him several times, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South East) Rajesh Deo said.

The tutor even recorded a private video of his student and threatened to release it on social media if he did not listen to his demands, the DCP said.

On the day of the incident, after receiving a call from his tutor to meet him at his Jamia Nagar house, the juvenile allegedly reached the apartment with a sharp paper cutter and slit the man's throat before fleeing the spot.
