Gurugram, Aug 2 (PTI) Based on a complaint by a woman in Gurugram that her husband was likely abducted, police on Saturday arrested a man who allegedly confessed to strangling him to death, officials said.
The woman told police in her complaint that the man who lived next door allegedly raped her in March and had threatened to make public a video of the incident if she told anyone about it.
The man, however, told police during interrogation that he was allegedly in a relationship with the complainant, and due to their relationship, he allegedly killed her husband on July 26 with the help of two accomplices, who also helped in burying his body.
All three men were arrested on Saturday. Ravindra (34), a native of Hastinapur village in Meerut district in Uttar Pradesh, is the main accused in the case. Manish (19), Fariyaad (20), also from Meerut, allegedly helped him in the murder and the attempt to hide his body, police said.
The man’s body was exhumed after Ravindra allegedly told police where they had buried him.
The three men have been sent on police remand for five days after being produced in a city court on Saturday. Police are conducting raids to nab other associates who could be involved in the murder, they added.
