    Mother Alleges Communal Hate Crime Over Muslim Girl, Not Just Road Dispute

    In a deeply disturbing incident that has rattled the national capital, 19-year-old Yash Sharma was allegedly stabbed to death near Geeta Colony Pusta flyover on 27 June 2025. While Delhi Police initially described it as a road rage incident, Yash’s grieving mother claims it was a targeted murder over an interfaith relationship. She alleges her son was threatened for dating a Muslim girl, one of whose relatives is among the accused.

    The murder has sent shockwaves across Delhi, drawing political attention, igniting communal concerns, and raising urgent questions about youth violence, religious identity, and law enforcement accountability.

    Who Killed Yash Sharma and Why? Twisted Tale of Jealousy, Rage, and Religion

    According to official reports, Yash was returning home with his cousin on a scooter when a minor altercation broke out after brushing past a pedestrian near Rani Garden. This altercation escalated quickly. The accused—Mohammed Amaan, a 20-year-old local, his friend Lucky, and a 17-year-old juvenile—allegedly chased Yash to the Geeta Colony flyover, where Amaan fatally stabbed him in the back.

    While police registered a case under IPC Section 302 and relevant sections of the Juvenile Justice Act, the angle that has triggered public outrage is the victim’s mother’s statement. She insists that her son had been in a relationship with a Muslim girl connected to the attackers. She further claims that Yash had received threats previously for the same reason, making this a premeditated communal hate crime rather than a spontaneous road rage.

    Delhi Police says all accused were arrested within hours and CCTV footage has been collected. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities also probing social media posts allegedly made by one accused boasting about the crime.

    Meanwhile, political leaders from BJP, including Virendra Sachdeva and Harsh Malhotra, have met Yash’s family and demanded a fair and fast-track trial, calling it a “hate-driven killing”. The incident has not only exposed gaps in urban policing but also spotlighted growing interfaith tensions among youth.
