25-year-old woman arrested for murder

“Accused Amrila Devi resides in the same complex in which the victim and her family stayed. The investigation revealed that the victim’s parents and Amrila Devi were not on good terms. Accused Amrila Devi and victim father, Chandan, had been known to each other for a long time. In the recent past, they started quarrelling with each other on minor issues. The CCTV camera footage shows that the victim was being taken by the accused woman towards the railway track. The accused is married and has four daughters. She was sent to judicial custody today,” Inspector Manisha Devi, SHO of GRP police station, said.

Hundreds of people, including the family members of victim, had blocked the traffic at Hallomajra light point on Dakshim Marg on January 15. The family had alleged that the victim was ‘murdered’ by one of her neighbour women with whom her father had quarreled a few days ago.

The traffic flow was disrupted for more than one hour and police personnel, including Chandigarh Police and Government Railway Police, rushed to the spot.

The mutilated body was found near the railway track at Phase-2, Ramdarbar, under mysterious circumstances on Saturday.
