Ballabgarh: The attacker of Nitika Tomar, who was shot dead in broad daylight just outside her college, Touseef and his friend Rehan have been arrested, according to the police. The woman’s father had complained against him in 2018 but had withdrawn it, according to the police.
“We complained earlier in 2018 about Touseef harassing my daughter and we had withdrawn the complaint to protect our daughter’s name. Now they have killed my daughter,” Nikita Tomar’s father Mool Chand Tomar said.
A 21-year-old woman was shot dead outside her college in Ballabgarh in Haryana’s Faridabad district on Monday. The incident took place around 3.45pm, when the girl, Nikita Tomar, came out of her college after giving her exam. She was studying in Bcom final year.
As the girl stepped out of Aggarwal college with her woman friend, an i20 car with two occupants inside stopped by her side.
One of the accused tried to pull her in and opened fire when she resisted and raised alarm. The girl was shot in her chest and fell down while bleeding heavily. The shooter and his associate then got into their car and drove away.
Touseef and Nikita studied in the same school in Faridabad and were batchmates. Nikita, her family members said, was among the school toppers in the Class 12 boards and was preparing for the civil services exams. In 2018, after they completed school, the two went to different colleges, with Nikita taking up commerce and Touseef pursuing a physiotherapy course.
