In a quiet neighbourhood of Gurugram, India, a shocking crime has left residents stunned and heartbroken. A 16-year-old boy killed his 9-year-old neighbour when she caught him trying to steal jewellery from her family's home. This tragic event has raised many questions about youth crime and the influence of the media on young minds. 

The incident happened in Sector 107 of Gurugram. The two families involved had been neighbours for almost ten years, living in adjoining towers. The boy often helped the young girl with her homework, which is why she let him into her home that fateful day. According to the police, the boy was in debt and needed money. He knew there was jewellery in the girl's house and had been planning to steal it for some time. When he saw that the girl's parents were out, he decided to act on his plan. 

At first, things seemed normal. The boy entered the house, and the girl asked for help with her homework. But then, he went to the bedroom to look for jewellery. The young girl saw what he was doing and started to scream. Scared and panicked, the boy attacked her to stop her from making noise. Tragically, this attack led to the girl's death. 

After killing the girl, the boy tried to hide what he had done. He attempted to burn her body using camphor, which he found in the house. He later told the police that he got this idea from watching crime shows on TV. However, he couldn't finish burning the body because the girl's mother returned home. 

When the mother came back, she found the door locked and saw smoke coming from inside. At first, she thought there was a fire. Neighbours helped her get into the house through the balcony. Inside, she found her daughter's partially burned body and the boy sitting nearby. The boy tried to blame the attack on thieves, but the mother felt something wasn't right. 

The police were called, and they started investigating. Soon, the boy admitted to what he had done. He told the police that he had learned about killing and burning bodies from watching crime shows on TV. DCP Karan Goel said that the boy had confessed and seemed to be influenced by crime shows. He also mentioned that the boy was known for causing trouble in his residential area.

This sad event has shocked the community. It has made people think about how TV shows might affect young people and the importance of talking to children about right and wrong. The loss of a young life has left everyone wondering how such a tragedy could have been prevented.
