The Delhi Police had revealed that the accused had this habit since 2008. At that time he was 18 years old. He continued this gruesome routine for the next seven years and by 2015 had killed 30 children. Ravindra Kumar, who was then 18 years old, came to Delhi from Kasganj in Uttar Pradesh in search of employment. His mother was a domestic help who used to work in people’s homes. While his father was a plumber. A few days after reaching Delhi, Ravinder became addicted to drugs and acquired a videotape of a pornographic film. He soon established a terrifying routine. According to the prosecution, Ravinder Kumar used to work as a laborer throughout the day before getting intoxicated at night. He would fall asleep in a slum between eight o’clock and midnight and then wake up to look for the children.
The accused used to go 40 km in search of prey
In search of prey, he sometimes walked up to 40 kilometers through slums and construction areas. Delhi Police had arrested Ravinder Kumar in 2014 on charges of kidnapping, attempt to murder and physical abuse of a 6-year-old child. After abducting the girl, he threw her in a sewage tank. Subsequently, the police detained her near the Sukhbir Nagar bus stop in Delhi’s Rohini as they probed the 2015 case of the six-year-old girl. The police first checked the information gathered from a large number of CCTV cameras, interrogated informers and then took Ravinder into custody.
