New Delhi: A young man was arrested along with his two juvenile accomplices for allegedly murdering a girl, with whom he was in love, for threatening to report him to police after he objected to her talking to other men, police said on Monday.
Ashok, 20, a resident of Gautam Puri area of the national capital, and his two accomplices were arrested on Sunday for strangling Chanda, who used to be a tenant in his house, to death.
Chanda’s body was found near MCD flats in New Usman Pur here and police began investigations into the incident.
“From the modus operandi and inspection of the scene of crime, it appeared to be the handiwork of someone who was known to the victim and who was familiar with the topography of the area,” a senior police official said.
During investigation, police came to know that she was last seen with one Ashok who is the brother of a criminal, namely Manoj, and does not enjoy a good reputation.
After he was apprehended, Ashok tried to conceal facts but on sustained interrogation, he confessed to his crime, the official said.
“He revealed that he met Chanda while she was a tenant in his house. He got attracted towards her and fell in love with her and developed physical relations with her. About one month ago, Chanda had shifted to Gautam Puri but they used to meet,” the official said, adding he also came to know that she was meeting other people too.
When he enquired from Chanda, the official said, she threatened him of implicating him in a false rape allegation.
After the incident, Ashok decided to get rid of Chanda and took her to an isolated place and sent a juvenile to his house to bring a knife.
“He strangled her neck by one hand. Then he took the knife from his associate and slit the neck of the victim,” he said.
