Woman's Body Found In Freezer At Dhaba In Delhi's Najafgarh, Owner Held
The body of a 25-year-old woman was discovered in a freezer in New Delhi's Najafgarh area on Tuesday, according to police. According to police, the victim was a resident of Uttam Nagar in Delhi.
Police arrested a man who was in a relationship with a 25-year-old woman after her body was discovered in a refrigerator at a 'dhaba' (eatery) on the outskirts of Mitraon village in southwest Delhi, news agency PTI reported on Tuesday.
According to Vikram Singh, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka), they received information on Tuesday morning that a woman had been murdered and her body was hidden at a dhaba on the outskirts of the hamlet, as stated in the report.
According to the report, the body was recovered by police once they arrived at the scene. Accused Sahil Gahlot, a Mitraon village inhabitant, has been captured. Singh stated that more legal action is being taken.
According to Singh, preliminary interrogation revealed that Gahlot was getting married on February 10 and that the woman objected because they had been in a relationship for a long time, as per the report.
"The woman was from Jhajjar in Haryana. According to reports, she threatened to accuse the man in a case if he married another woman," PTI reported citing sources.
"According to preliminary investigation, the accused planned to marry another woman. And when the victim found out about it, she objected and persisted in marrying him "ANI quoted Singh as saying. Enraged by this, the accused murdered her and put her body inside a freezer at his dhaba. "The incident occurred two to three days ago," he added further.
A murder case in Delhi a few months ago stunned the country when a man named Aaftab Poonawala allegedly strangled his live-in spouse Shraddha and dissected her body into 35 parts. Following the murder, he allegedly kept the body pieces in a 300-litre fridge for 18 days before dumping them in a jungle.
He was detained on November 12 when Shraddha's father, who had not spoken to her in almost a year due to their disagreement, went to the cops after her friends told him she hadn't spoken to them in months.
More information is awaited.
