Overview
- Police in outer Delhi found a 35-year-old woman strangled and hidden inside a PG bed box in Mangolpuri, then arrested three local men under murder provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- Investigators say the victim had met 22-year-old Deepak at the PG and that CCTV places suspects at the scene, with officers now reconstructing events and probing reported sexual harassment claims.
- In Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar district, police arrested Priyanka Purohit and her alleged lover Kamlesh after a supposed home robbery was deemed staged and a murder conspiracy was alleged.
- Officers say the pair hired an associate named Surendra Bhati for about Rs 1 lakh, recovered jewellery that Priyanka had reported stolen, and used call records and mobile data to identify links; the alleged hitman is on the run.
- Both probes lean on crime-scene forensics and digital trails to move quickly, highlighting a pattern in intimate-partner killings where bodies are concealed or scenes are faked and where several claims remain subject to verification in court.
