The Haryana Police on Wednesday arrested the husband of the woman whose naked body was found stuffed inside a suitcase near IFFCO Chowk in Gurugram a couple of days ago, for allegedly killing her. According to the police, the 22-year-old man Rahul has confessed that he killed his wife over domestic strife.
The deceased has been identified as Priyanka (20) who lived with her husband and a one-year-old daughter at a rented accommodation in Sirhual village in Gurugram, a police official said, adding they got married in February last year.
Priyanka’s naked body was found in an abandoned suitcase at Iffco Chowk in Haryana’s Gurugram on Monday afternoon, after an autorickshaw driver informed police around 4 pm, that a suspicious suitcase was spotted in the bushes on a roadside near the Iffco chowk.
Following this, police filed an FIR under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 201 (hiding the evidence) at Sector 18 police station.
The post-mortem revealed that she was strangulated to death. At the time a member of the medical board that conducted post mortem said the possibility of rape cannot be ruled out as marks, that look like burn injuries, were found on the hip area of the deceased.
A police team scanned footage from CCTVs at IFFCO Chowk and identified an e-rickshaw in which the accused had reached the spot with the suitcase, ACP (crime) Preet Pal Singh Sangwan said.
On questioning the e-rickshaw driver, it was found that the person had boarded the vehicle from Sirhaul village. Following combing of the village, Rahul was nabbed, the police officer said.
During interrogation, Rahul revealed that the wife used to demand mobile, TV and refrigerator which was out of his means since he earned a meagre salary.
They used to fight over this issue quite often. On the night of October 16, Priyanka slapped Rahul following a fight, which enraged him and he strangulated her, Sangwan said.
On the morning of October 17, he bought a big suitcase and stuffed her wife’s naked body into it after peeling off the skin from her hand which had her name tattooed. The knife also has been recovered by police, the ACP said.
“We have informed the families of both the accused and deceased,” the police officer added.
