A 25-year-old woman was strangled to death and her body dumped outside a house, allegedly by her live-in partner, in northeast Delhi. Police said the accused, Vineet, is absconding while his sister Parul has been arrested for helping him plan the murder.

After killing the woman, identified as Rohina, Vineet allegedly dumped her body 12 km away, outside a house in Karawal Nagar.

DCP (Northeast) Joy Tirkey said received a PCR call that a woman’s body was lying dumped outside a house. A police team rushed to the spot and shifted the deceased to GTB Nagar.

Investigators then scanned several CCTVs around the area and observed two men on a motorcycle with a woman between them. Officers noted that one of the men was wearing a striped T-shirt and white trousers.

In another footage, police saw the same man with the deceased woman’s body on his shoulders and another woman behind him. The man was subsequently identified as Vineet and the woman as his sister Parul.

Officers soon found that they were not at their house and that Parul had shifted out on April 20. A tonga owner, who helped move her belongings, was questioned and he said the woman and her children had moved to a house in Krishna Nagar.

When interrogated, Parul said that she and her brother Vineet planned to kill Rohina as she was forcing him to marry her.

Rohina and Vineet had eloped four years ago, following which they lived together but never got married. Meanwhile, Vineet and his father were convicted in a murder case in 2019 and awarded life imprisonment. When he came out of jail last year, Rohina asked Vineet to marry her but he refused as she was from a different community.

Vineet and Parul then decided to kill her and on April 12, he strangulated Rohina and hid her body in a bed box. In the evening, he called an associate and rode on a motorbike for around 12 km with Rohina’s body in between them in a bid to find a place to dump the body. Vineet then left for Baghpat. He is currently absconding, said DCP Tirkey.
