A 24-year-old woman’s decomposed body was recovered inside a bed in her rented accommodation in Delhi. The police suspected that the woman’s husband killed her, hid the body in the bedroom and fled from the scene.
According to the police, the decomposed body of the woman, identified as Deepa, was recovered from the rented accommodation in the Dabri area of Delhi’s Dwarka district on Friday, January 3.
After the incident, Deepa’s husband, Dhanraj, absconded and a probe has been launched to arrest him.
The incident came to the fore after a local police team received an alert about the murder of a woman at Dabri Police Station. Upon reaching the spot, the police team recovered the decomposed body of Deepa in the bedroom of her home, a police officer said.
Deepa had been living with her husband, who she married five years ago, in the rented house, the Delhi Police official said, adding that a case had been registered against her husband after the complaint of the woman’s father, Ashok Chauhan.
A case of murder has been registered, and an investigation is underway. Since the victim’s husband is absconding, multiple teams have been formed to track and apprehend him,” the officer said.
The couple’s two-year-old child lives with Deepa’s maternal uncle, he added.
