NEW DELHI: A 27-year-old woman was allegedly murdered in northwest Delhi's Narela on Tuesday.
Police suspect the woman was assaulted and then thrown from the sixth floor of a residential building. They believe her male friend, an engineer by profession, may be involved in the incident. He has been detained.
The cops received a PCR call reporting a woman lying in a pool of blood on the ground floor of an apartment building. The woman, identified as a resident of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, was found dead with visible injuries. A mobile phone was recovered from her jeans pocket and rang with an incoming call during the investigation, a source said.
The caller identified himself as a friend of the suspect and informed police that a quarrel took place between the woman and the suspect before the incident. Further investigation revealed that the woman had come to Delhi to meet the suspect, who lives in an apartment in Narela.
We suspect there was an argument between the two about their relationship. Preliminary evidence suggests the man may have beaten her and then pushed her off the sixth floor, a police officer stated.
Examination of the body also indicated signs of a physical struggle.
A medical examination has been ordered, and a forensic team is assisting with evidence collection.
