The Delhi Police is planning to conduct a psychoanalysis test on 33-year-old Gurpreet Singh, who allegedly killed a Swiss woman in Delhi, tied her limbs with chains, and dumped the body near a West Delhi school last week. While an appeal for the test is yet to be submitted in court, police sources said investigators are planning to do so to get “clearer answers” from the accused. Police said Singh had frequently changed his statements during questioning, making it difficult to ascertain the motive and sequence of events. Police also want to probe the source of several crores found in Singh's bank accounts and at his Janakpuri residence. They have sought the assistance of the Income Tax Department and Enforcement Directorate to investigate the matter. The accused met the victim, Nina Berger (36), on a dating app in 2021 while he was travelling to Zurich, Switzerland, to meet his relatives. However, police said, Singh soon started pressuring Berger into marrying him and proposed to her 5-6 times. She rejected his proposal citing multiple reasons even as they continued dating, said police. Feeling dejected, police said Singh started suspecting Berger of having an affair. On October 11, Berger came to India and stayed at a hotel in Delhi. On October 18, Singh allegedly killed her inside his car and dumped the body near an MCD school in West Delhi on Friday. Singh was arrested after CCTV footage showed a “turban-clad” man and a white car on October 18, the date of the incident, near the spot, said DCP (West) Vichitra Veer. “We have found the chains, plastic bag and other evidence he used to chain and wrap the woman with before strangling her. It is still difficult to establish his motive because he has been changing his statements every hour or so. Initially, he even lied about knowing the woman or going to Switzerland. But we have evidence that he visited that place multiple times and was in touch with the woman,” Veer had said. Police had also seized Rs 2 crore from Singh’s house. On Sunday, senior officers, who refused to be named, said they are contemplating adding human trafficking charges against Singh after analysing his phone. A source close to the investigation said, “We have found multiple photos of Singh with different women and girls. There are videos as well. We also found chats between him and these women We suspect he was involved in human trafficking in and around Delhi-NCR. Though he has not confessed to anything yet, there’s strong technical evidence." The DCP said police are checking Singh’s movements from October 18-20. “It’s not clear if someone helped him or if he dumped the body alone. He is not cooperating. He is talking about black magic and some issues he had with Berger. He later said he wanted to teach her a lesson as she refused to listen to him.,” said an officer. Investigators said they’ll call doctors and specialists to examine Singh. “The specialists will ascertain if Singh is lying or misleading police to clear his name. He is also not disclosing anything about the victim. We want to get some details about this since her family hasn’t been traced yet,” added the officer.
