“On December 9, her brother met her and tried to force her to return home, but she refused. On December 10, his friend lured her by promising to help arrange her wedding with her partner. However, he took her on his bike from Rampura Chowk to an abandoned brick-and-tin structure near Gwalior village on the Panchgaon-Pada Road,” the spokesperson added.

Police said he first allegedly sexually assaulted the victim before strangling her with a chunni (scarf). “He then called the victim’s brother to the spot and the two dumped her body in the derelict shack,” they added.

The body was discovered on December 13 after a passerby alerted police. The victim had clear strangulation marks on her neck and a word written on her right wrist.

A murder case was registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Manesar police station.

A joint team led by Station House Officer, Inspector Satender Kumar, and Manesar Crime Branch head, Inspector Manoj Kumar, cracked the case after identifying the victim and tracing the accused, police said.

“The accused will be produced in court to press for police custody for further questioning and recovery of evidence. The investigation is ongoing,” officials said.
