Nikita Tomar, a 20-year-old Indian student, was shot dead by Tausif and his friend Rehman outside her college in the town of Ballabhgarh in Faridabad district, Haryana, on 26 October 2020. The boy who shot her wanted to marry her and allegedly convert to Islam, which she refused to do.[1] The incident was recorded on CCTV, which led to the arrest of two men, both of whom were fellow students.[2][3] On 23 March 2021, two men were convicted of her murder by a fast-track court and were imprisoned for life.[4]
