Father,cousin held for killing girl,dumping her body on school bus

Police said the family,which hails from Mahendergarh,had moved to Gurgaon a month ago. They took up a rented room in Sector-5,approximately 200 metres from where the body was found on the bus. Sanjay is a daily-wage labourer.

During investigation,police said Sanjay and Chiku tried misleading police by naming an alleged boyfriend,but on questioning,they confessed to the crime.

“During investigation,we learned that an argument had taken place between the father and daughter on the night of August 17 over her alleged ‘friendship with many boys’. They had caught her talking on the phone with one of them. Around 4.30 in the morning of August 18,Shivani ran away from home and Sanjay and Chiku followed her. They caught up with her a little away from home and strangled her. They dumped her body in the compartment of the bus,which was parked in Sector-5,” Gurgaon police commissioner Alok Mittal said.
