A Delhi man has been arrested in connection with the murder of his wife, whose body was found in a drain in Delhi nearly a month ago. Anil Kumar, a businessman, was married to the deceased, Seema Singh.

According to NDTV, Kumar has been arrested on the suspicion that he killed her and dumped her body in the drain. Seema Singh’s body was found wrapped up in a bedsheet and tied to a stone and cement sack in a drain in Delhi on March 15. She was 47 at the time of her death.

The investigation took a crucial turn when the police traced the nose pin worn by the woman. This led them to a jewellery store in South Delhi, and upon reviewing the store's purchase records, the police discovered that the nose pin had been bought by a man named Anil Kumar, a property dealer based in Delhi who lived at a farmhouse in Gurugram.

This link became a key lead in identifying the woman and advancing the case, as per the NDTV report.

Travel Stories 

When contacted by the police, they found out that Seema was Kumar’s wife. But when they requested to speak to her, Kumar said that she had travelled to Vrindavan without a phone, raising further suspicion.

The cops next investigated his office in Dwarka, where they found his mother-in-law's number in a diary. When they contacted the number, Seema Singh’s sister Babita said that they haven’t spoken to Seema since March 11 and that they are worried.

Babita informed the police that when they reached out to Kumar regarding Seema, he claimed that she was in Jaipur and not in a state to talk. According to Babita, Kumar assured the family that he would arrange for Seema to speak with them once she felt better. This continued for several days, while Singh’s family wanted to report it to the police, Kumar always made assurances.

Seema Singh’s family was asked to identify the body on April 1, and it was confirmed that it was her. On April 2, her elder son also confirmed that it was his mother. According to the postmortem report, Singh was strangled to death. Her family also alleges that the couple were the only ones to have the keys to the Dwarka house.

Kumar’s guard, Shiv Shankar, has also been arrested in connection with this murder.
