New Delhi: The Delhi Police says that 48 hours after a college student was shot dead in Delhi on a busy road, no eyewitness has approached the police. "A witness could help us fine-tune our information," said HGS Dhaliwal, a senior police officer handling the case.

Radhika Tanwar was shot on Tuesday on a busy morning outside her college in South Delhi's Dhaula Kuan. For 10 minutes, not one passerby volunteered to take her to hospital. A constable who arrived at the spot where she was killed finally took her in an auto to hospital.

The man who fired at her managed to run away. One person has been detained for questioning. The police believes that Radhika was killed by a stalker who had been harassing her for several years.


The police has urged witnesses to share information on what they saw and heard, promising that identities will be kept confidential.

"Two people have shared relevant information," said Mr Dhaliwal.
