Who is Jhabru?
Sahil, the accused, has spoken out Ajay aka Jhabru's name, claiming that he (Jhabru) allegedly threatened to kill him (Sahil) if he continued to pursue Sakshi. Police claim that Sahil's statements for the killing have changed frequently because he has mentioned Sakshi's alleged relationship with Praveen. Jhabru lives in Shahbad Dairy's JJ colony.
In an interview with Zee News, Jhabru stated that he did not threaten Sahil, but rather that they had met the day before Sahil brutally murdered Sakshi. Jhabru explained that they had met to tell Sahil that he should not bother Sakshi.
When questioned about how long he had known Sakshi, Jhabru replied that he had only met her when he went to meet Sahil. He went on to say that all he was doing was helping Sakshi because she had contacted him.

He said, "Sahil is trying to involve me in this now that he has been caught. I did not threaten him because I am not a gangster. I was only trying to assist Sakshi, and I only told Sahil to stop bothering her. He might have believed that I and Sakshi were having an affair, which ignited him to kill her."
