According to PTI, the footage showed Pooja in areas on the Najafgarh Nangloi Road -- Ranhola, Nihal Vihar and Rishal Garden.
A senior police officer said that during the investigation, footage from a CCTV camera was examined that showed that the last person who visited the 11-year-old boy's house was Pooja.
Reportedly, Pooja Kumari and Jitender had married at a temple of the Arya Samaj on October 17, 2019. Police said that since Jitender had not given a divorce to his wife, a court marriage was not possible. Meanwhile, Jitender assured Pooja that they would get married in court after he gets a divorce from his wife, according to police. However, the couple started living together in a rented house.
But things started getting worse. They often quarrelled over Jitender's divorce and after sometime, he moved out of the rented house and started staying with his wife, police said, as per PTI.
Pooja was furious over Jitender leaving the house and assumed it was because of his son. According to police, the report added, she met her friend and asked him to take her to Jitender's house.
The door was open when she reached there. Then, she killed Divyansh, who was sleeping and put his bot inside the bed box.
