Seelampur Teen Murder: 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.
Who Is Zikra?
- Ziqra is frequently seen roaming around Seelampur with a pistol
- Police sources said that Zikra once worked as a bouncer for Zoya, the wife of jailed gangster Hashim Baba.
- Zikra was reportedly living with Zoya before the latter was jailed.
- Ziqra, whose profile photo is of a Palestinian flag, has over 15,300 followers on Instagram, where her handle is “sher_di_sherni_00″ and her bio reads “lady don”.
- Zikra had previously been arrested under the Arms Act after posting a video of herself holding a pistol on social media. She was later released on bail and was living in a rented house near Kunal’s home.
- She is reportedly leading a gang of 10–12 young men, some of whom are now being linked to Kunal’s murder.
- The father of the teenager who was killed said Ziqra had threatened his son, Kunal, multiple times. “She has also been in jail, she used to roam around with a gun in her hand. She would say she will kill my son if she gets a chance,” the man said as quoted by NDTV.
