Two Arrests in Murders of Women in Delhi and Raipur, Third Delhi Case Under Probe

Extensive CCTV review aided a rapid cross-district trace of suspected partners.

Overview

  • Delhi Police arrested Himanshu, 25, in Haryana for the stabbing of Sakshi in Kotla Mubarakpur after tracking his route through hundreds of CCTV clips and technical data.
  • Investigators say Himanshu, who has about 14 prior cases, admitted jealousy over her past and allegedly ransacked the room to mimic a robbery before fleeing.
  • In Raipur, police arrested Durgesh Verma in the killing of nurse Priyanka Das and said he tried to stage the crime as a suicide by placing the knife in her hand.
  • Raipur authorities reported a confession citing suspicion of cheating as the trigger and recovered the weapon, registering a murder case under BNS Section 103(1).
  • A separate Rohini strangulation of Naresh Kumari remains unsolved, with police ruling out robbery and focusing on a neighbourhood acquaintance as a likely suspect.
