Earlier, Sahil was sent to police remand for 2 days. The conspiracy to kill the minor girl was hatched 15 days before the incident, reports said. The accused was frustrated as he was being ignored by the girl, the reports further said.
Meanwhile, it is also said that the accused allegedly threw away the knife he used to kill Sakshi into the bushes at Rithala. The knife is yet to be recovered, the officer said.
According to police, three of Sakshi's friends -- Bhawna, Ajay alias Jhabru and Neetu -- were called to join the investigation and their statements have been recorded.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer North) Ravi Kumar Singh said, "We have the accused in our custody and his interrogation is underway. We are looking at all aspects to connect the links. We are working to unearth the role of all the individuals involved in the incident. Our teams are trying to recover the weapon used in the crime."
A senior police officer said during interrogation, Sahil said he was angry after Sakshi rebuffed him in front of her friends and refused to get back to him.
The probe carried out so far has revealed that no one was involved with Sahil in the crime, police said, adding that the accused has confessed to have executed it himself. He has also told police about the location in the forest area of Rithala where he threw the murder weapon but since it was dark on Sunday night, he has not been able to point out the exact spot.
The friends of the victim who were questioned have been cooperative, police said, adding that they have revealed how despite Sakshi telling Sahil sternly that she did not want to continue in a relationship with him and to stay away from her, the accused kept following her.
