Lady Don Zikra Arrested in Seelampur Murder Case: Revenge for 2024 Spat?

Zikra Arrested in Seelampur Murder Case: A chilling act of revenge rocked Delhi’s Seelampur on Thursday evening as 17-year-old Kunal was brutally stabbed to death just 50 metres from his home. The Delhi Police have arrested Zikra Khan (25), who refers to herself as “Lady Don”, for her alleged role in orchestrating the fatal attack.

According to police sources, the killing stemmed from a personal vendetta connected to an altercation in November 2024, in which Kunal was present when one of the attackers was reportedly assaulted.

Kunal Singh was killed around 7.30 p.m. on Thursday, just a few metres from his house, after he stepped out to buy milk to prepare tea for his ailing father, police said.

He was rushed to the JPC Hospital located nearby where doctors declared him brought dead, they added.

The incident led to a protest in the area. Posters with “Hindus are migrating” and “Please help, Yogi ji” written on them surfaced in the area, which police later removed.

The case has also triggered a war of words between the ruling BJP and the opposition AAP, with both sides blaming each other for the "deteriorating" law and order situation in the capital city.

"Ten teams have been formed to crack the case, and they are looking at all possible angles. We have detained a few people for questioning. The case will be solved soon," Joint Commissioner of Police (Eastern Range), Pushpendra Kumar, told PTI.

Zikra worked as a bouncer for jailed gangster Hashim Baba's wife, Zoya, before the latter's arrest by Delhi Police in a drugs case.

Police said Kunal was killed in a revenge attack, alluding to an earlier altercation between an associate of his and one of the suspects. During interrogation, Zikra confessed to being involved in the murder, according to the police.

The incident led to late-night protests by the teenager’s family and neighbours, prompting the deployment of security forces and drawing in the national capital's top political leaders.

Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta has assured the family of the victim of justice. “I have talked to the Commissioner of Police. The police are making all efforts, and I hope the accused will be arrested soon,” she said.
