Radhika Tanwar murder case: Stalker detained by police

New Delhi: The Delhi Police is now interrogating a man who stalked Radhika Tanwar, a 20-year-old student shot outside her college in Delhi on Tuesday. The stalker was detained on Thursday night and matches the sketch of the suspect released by the police based on the descriptions given by people who saw a man running from the crime scene.

Another youth who allegedly helped Radhika's stalker is also being interrogated.

On Thursday, Radhika's family said that the police sketch of the suspect matches the man who stalked her for nearly three years.

Radhika Tanwar was shot on a busy morning outside Ram Lal Anand College in South Delhi's Dhaula Kuan. For 10 minutes, not one passerby volunteered to take her to hospital. The man who fired at her managed to run away.

Based on conversations with Radhika's family and friends, the police had on Wednesday released a sketch of the alleged murderer. Radhika's father reportedly told the police that the sketch is an "80% match" of a young man who lives near the Tanwar residence in Naraina and tried for three years to win Radhika's attention.

The family had not filed a complaint against the stalker, but had informally warned him to stay away from Radhika, say sources.

Radhika was a second-year student. She was killed while walking across a pedestrian bridge.
