The accused, Rahul Lal, had allegedly fled after the incident on November 10 with the woman’s one-year-old daughter, said police. Police searched for them, but both were missing. Rahul’s family, who live nearby, said the couple lived with Gulshana’s daughter from her previous marriage.
A senior police officer said, “We received a PCR call around 2 pm from a local who said he saw Gulshana’s body… We were told that she was living with her child and her partner.”
Police sent teams to look for Rahul and put his phone under technical surveillance. “On Wednesday, Rahul was caught while he was trying to escape Delhi through a jungle,” said an officer. Police said during questioning, Rahul said he had suspected Gulshana of allegedly cheating on him. “He wanted to marry her. On November 10, Gulshana and Rahul started fighting over Rs 5,000. They also argued over her alleged cheating. In the heat of the moment, the accused strangled her and she died. He locked the house and left with her baby. The baby was recovered from her grandmother’s house,” said the officer.
