‘Lady Don’ Zikra plotted Seelampur teen’s murder in March, bought gun: Delhi Police chargesheet

The 22-year-old then got out on bail — and allegedly followed through with her plan just 10 days later. On April 17, the teen was stabbed to death by members of the Mastan gang, reportedly hired by her. She was part of the Mastan gang, said police.

These claims are part of the police’s 300-plus-page chargesheet filed on July 16 against Zikra and seven others in the murder case.

The chargesheet was filed under sections 103(1), 61(2), 351(3), 3(5), 249(a), and 238(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The court of Judge Anmol Nohria took cognisance and issued summons to six people named in the document on August 8.

The other names are: Anas, Sahil Ansari, Zahida, Nafees, Vikas, Shahid, and Anees.

Zikra also has links to gangster Hashim Baba’s incarcerated wife, Zoya, and previously worked for her, the chargesheet claimed.

On April 17, police said the 17-year-old victim was out buying milk when Zikra’s associates cornered him in the market and allegedly stabbed him multiple times. Police claimed she was the key conspirator of the crime, which sparked communal tension in the area.

DCP (Northeast) Ashish Kumar Mishra had earlier said, “Evidence was collected against the accused — Zikra, another accused, and two juveniles — who conspired to attack the victim. Five suspects aided the main accused in escaping and hiding.”

The Mastan gang, a police officer said, is led by Shoaib Mastan, who is currently lodged in jail in a robbery case. His rival is a group led by Lala alias Prashant (25).

The chargesheet claimed the victim was friends with two people from the Lala gang, who had attacked Sahil last November.

Police had claimed the victim got caught in the rivalry between the two warring gangs. His family, however, had denied any gang links.
