Woman murdered in Mandi Dabwali, accused held

Hisar: A 28-year-old woman was found murdered in Mandi Dabwali on Friday night, sending shockwaves through the area. According to sources, her throat was slit with a sharp weapon. Police have arrested the accused within hours of the incident, and claimed a dispute over money appeared to be the motive behind the crime. The deceased was identified as Suman, a resident of Kabir Basti in Dabwali. The accused, Vikram, also a resident of Kabir Basti, was taken into custody. DSP Kapil Ahlawat said police received information on Friday night that a woman was murdered in Khatik Mohalla. Acting swiftly, a police team rushed to the spot, inspected the crime scene, and collected vital evidence. A case of murder was registered on the complaint of the deceased's brother, Raju. During the investigation, police identified Vikram as the prime suspect and arrested him soon after. According to the complaint, Suman was married to a man in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, but had been living in in Mandi Dabwali for the past 3 years. Raju said that on Friday night, his mother informed him that someone had assaulted his sister. When he reached her rented house, he found a crowd gathered outside. When he questioned his nephew (Suman's son), the child told him that Vikram had came to their house around 8 pm. The accused allegedly handed the boy a mobile phone and went inside the house. After some time, he came out, took the boy outside, and gave him Rs 100, asking him to buy something to eat before leaving. When the child later returned home, he found his mother lying dead inside the house. During preliminary interrogation, police found that Vikram visited the woman's house for some time. Investigators suspected that a dispute over a financial transaction led to the murder. Police said further investigation was underway, and the accused would be produced in court for remand to recover the weapon used in the crime.MSID:: 129217456 413 |
