A man, who was jailed in connection with a molestation case and was released on bail yesterday, turned up at the house of the complainant, a 18-year-old girl, early this morning and stabbed her to death.
Police said the accused, Ayub Khan, reached the girl's residence in Welcome area of north-east Delhi around 6.30 AM and stabbed her to death.
