New Delhi: A man killed his 21-year-old female friend, a student of Delhi University in the capital and kept the body in his bedroom. The man, Naveen Khatri, committed the murder after the girl apparently started blackmailing him.
The incident came to light in the morning when the body of the woman was found in a shaft in the accused's residence, police said. They said several persons were questioned after which the police zeroed in on a man, identified as Naveen Khatri.
During interrogation it emerged that the woman, a final year student at Lakshmibai College under the University of Delhi, was in a relationship with Khatri, who was to get married with someone else, they said.
On Tuesday, Khatri allegedly strangulated her and dumped her body in a shaft at his residence in Gurmandi locality which comes under the jurisdiction of Model Town police station. The police said the accused tried to dump the body somewhere else and also attempted to burn it once, but failed.
The matter came to light on Sunday after neighbours complained of a 'terrible stench' and the police was informed, they said. The police are also probing the role of other members of the accused's family in the incident.
"My daughter's dead body was found from their almirah. The whole family has killed my daughter by burning her. They killed her on the 2nd itself. The state of the dead body shows that murder ocurred 5 to 6 days before. I don't know what happened between the 2 of them that led them to kill her. The boy must answer that question", the girl's mother said.
Naveen Khatri has been booked in connection with this case. The police is also investigating into the role of his family members.
