Days after a 24-year-old woman was shot multiple times at her Southeast Delhi home, her family members claimed that the accused and his family had been subjecting their daughter to harassment based on “unfounded suspicions”.
The Delhi Police arrested 31-year-old Rocky Pradhan in connection with the murder. Pradhan confessed to killing the woman, Pooja Yadav, and said he suspected her of having an affair with his brother, Krishan (37), who is married and has four children.
Pooja’s family refuted the allegations and said she was targeted for no reason.
A certified beautician, Pooja worked at Krishan’s office in Basantpur. Police said she was hired as an assistant at the property dealership. Her family said she was also taking up different courses and participating in events to work at a high-scale salon soon.
Police said Rocky was following her when she was on her way home. He later shot 3-4 bullets just as she entered her home. He escaped but was arrested from Faridabad later.

Distraught over their loss, the family blamed the Pradhans for misunderstanding their daughter. Manoj, her brother, said, “I was sitting with my mother when I heard gunshots. For a moment, I thought kids were bursting crackers but then I heard my sister’s screams. She was there at the door…she collapsed in front of me. There was blood everywhere.”
Manoj chased Rocky and tried to stop him but Rocky allegedly fired two bullets at Manoj.
“They are trying to defame my sister after killing her. She was not in a relationship with Krishan. She had quit working at Krishan’s office 7-8 months ago after Rocky and other family members targeted her at the office, but Krishan called her back and gave her a hike. He assured her that there would be no trouble. Why would anyone say no to that?” said Manoj.
Meanwhile, police claimed Rocky told them that Pooja was trying to “break Krishan’s family”. “He wanted to eliminate her as he disapproved of their friendship. We are also questioning Krishan and other family members to ascertain their role in the murder,” said a senior police officer.
