Delhi Murder News: Husband murders woman he ‘bought’ for Rs 70,000, dumps body in south Delhi forest | Delhi News – Times of India
Police said that on August 5 they got a PCR call regarding an unidentified woman’s body in a forest near the Jheel Khurd border with Haryana. “On reaching the spot, they found the body of a woman aged about 30 years. The deceased could not be identified initially,” an officer said.
Deputy commissioner of police (south) Chandan Chowdhary said that through technical and manual surveillance, the cops tracked the movement of an autorickshaw about 1.40am on August 5 near the spot where the body was dumped. “The route of the vehicle was tracked. We were able to identify the driver as Arun, a resident of Chhatarpur. He was apprehended near Gadaipur Band Road,” the DCP said.
Arun confessed to the crime and identified the deceased as Sweety, the wife of his brother-in-law, Dharamveer. “Arun told us that he, along with Dharamveer and his relative Satyavan, killed Sweety by strangulation near the Haryana border and threw her body in the forest,” the officer said.
Dharamveer works in a factory. Arun is an auto driver and Satyavan a vehicle workshop employee.
Arun also told the police that he was aware of the topography of this area, so he chose the forest area for the disposal of the body.
The police said Dharamveer was supposedly upset with Sweety as she used to allegedly vanish from home for months together, without giving any information.
The police also said that nobody knows about Sweety’s parents as Dharamveer, inflicted with polio, had married her by paying Rs 70,000 to a woman who was believed to be Sweety’s relative. “Sweety also never shared details about her parents or family with her husband. She only told him that she was from Patna,” the officer said.
“On the day of murder, the three accompanied the woman on the pretext of dropping her off at the railway station. They took her near the Haryana border and strangled her,” the officer said.
A case under sections 302 (murder), 201 (causing the disappearance of evidence of an offense or giving false information to a screen offender), and 34 (common intention) of the IPC has been registered against the three men.
