The Delhi Police on Saturday arrested a man in connection with the murder of a Swiss woman, whose body was recovered from West Delhi's Tilak Nagar area. The body of the woman was recovered next to the wall of an MCD school on Friday morning.
Police said they have seized the car used during the crime by the accused. Following the murder, as per police sources, accused Gurpreet dumped the body in the same car on a roadside. During the interrogation, the accused revealed that he had met the woman through a social media networking website four years ago. "The meeting, which took place three to four years ago, turned into a friendship, and the accused fell in love with the girl. However, the girl had another boyfriend, which did not go down well with the accused," police said. "The accused called the girl from Switzerland to India on the pretext of meeting her and then tied the girl's hands and legs with a chain, saying that he would give her a surprise in 10 minutes and choked her to death," police added. According to the police, the accused had purchased a car by showing the ID of another girl and dumped the body in the Tilak Nagar area. The police scanned the CCTV footage, identified the registration number of the car, and nabbed the accused from his house. Police said they have recovered Rs 1.5 crore from the accused, which he had allegedly acquired by selling the property. Earlier, police said they had formed multiple teams after an unidentified woman was found dead near the wall of an MCD school located in Tilak Nagar on Friday morning. "On the basis of initial facts, a case has been registered under Section 302/201 of the IPC," officials said. (ANI)
