Teen kills friend with cricket bat over love rivalry in Kathua, arrested
Kathua, May 08: In a chilling case of friendship turning fatal over a suspected love rivalry, police in Kathua have arrested a 19yearold youth for the brutal daylight murder of his close friend, 18yearold Nakul Singh. The accused has been identified as Parth Verma alias Sumit, who allegedly bludgeoned Nakul to death with a cricket bat inside the victims home over love rivalry. The shocking crime, which has sent shockwaves across Kathua town, occurred on May 6 at Nakul Singhs residence in Ward No. 10 near Rajbagh. Nakul was found dead in a pool of blood, while his younger brother, 16yearold Nikhil Singh, was critically injured in the attack. Addressing the media, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kathua Mohita Sharma, per news agencyKashmir News Observer (KNO), said the case was cracked using technical surveillance, including tracking the missing mobile phone of the deceased. After registering the FIR, multiple police teams were constituted. During the investigation, the missing iPhone of the deceased was traced with the help of technical inputs. Sustained interrogation of suspects led to a confession by the accused. The stolen mobile phone was also recovered on his disclosure, in the presence of a magistrate, the SSP said. According to police, the accused visited Nakul Singhs house around 11.40 am on the day of the incident and even made a phone call to another friend using Nakuls mobile phone before the situation escalated. Investigators revealed that a heated argument broke out between the two friends over a girl, exposing what police described as a love angle behind the murder. The argument quickly escalated into a physical altercation driven by jealousy and personal rivalry. In a fit of rage, the accused allegedly picked up a cricket bat lying inside the room and struck Nakul Singh on the head, killing him on the spot, SSP Sharma said. Police said the violence did not stop there. When Nakuls younger brother Nikhil entered the house during the attack, the accused allegedly panicked and repeatedly assaulted him with the same cricket bat in an attempt to eliminate an eyewitness. The accused fled the scene after leaving behind the bloodstained cricket bat and taking away the victims mobile phone, the officer added. The murder weapon has since been recovered and forensic evidence from the crime scene has been collected. Nikhil Singh remains in critical condition and is undergoing treatment at AIIMS Jammu, where he is currently on ventilator support. Police said the investigation is being strengthened to ensure strict punishment for the accused. Justice will be delivered only through conviction, SSP Sharma said.
