Seelampur Teen Murder by Lady Don Ziqra: At least four people, including Zikra, a local woman known as ‘lady don’, were detained in connection with the murder of a 17-year-old boy in north-east Delhi’s Seelampur area.
The victim, Kunal, was stabbed to death on Thursday in New Seelampur. Police scanned the CCTV camera footage from the area and identified two suspects — Sahil and Rehan.
According to the police, the “lady don” angle emerged after Kunal’s family alleged that the woman, identified as Zikra — a local figure known by that nickname — was present at the crime scene when Kunal was attacked.

Ziqra, a resident of Seelampur, is known to have a criminal background. She was recently released from jail just 15 days before the murder. She had been booked earlier under the Arms Act and is believed to carry a pistol with her all the time.
Police sources told PTI that Ziqra had formed her own gang and wanted to take revenge for her brother’s stabbing. “She recently came out of jail and was looking for the person who had beaten her brother. She questioned Kunal about it, and when he didn’t help her, she took it personally,” a police officer said.
Her brother Sahil is also under investigation as a suspect in the case.
