The backdrop of Dilroz Murder Case
On 28 November 2021, a woman named Neelam, a resident of Shimlapuri area, after abducting two-and-a-half-year-old innocent Dilroz, who lived in the neighborhood, took her to Salem Tabri area and brutally killed her by burying her alive.
Neelam planned the toddler’s murder due to an old rivalry she had with the family. She buried the child alive after digging a pit in a field near Salem Tabri. After the incident, the accused returned home and started behaving normally.
However, she confessed during interrogation after police scanned CCTVs and found her taking the girl away on her scooter. An FIR under section 364 (kidnapping with intent to kill) of IPC was registered at the Shimlapuri police station, and after the child’s death, sections 302 and 201 of IPC were added.
During questioning, she confessed her crime and said she had buried the girl in a pit in fields in Salem Tabri. Police rescued the toddler and rushed her to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), but she had died already.
