Days after a 26-year-old woman was found dead in a hotel room in Vasant Kunj, police have arrested her boyfriend for allegedly killing her by banging her head on the ground after suspecting her of infidelity, officials said on Tuesday. Police had received a call on February 27 regarding the victim’s body lying in a room at the Hotel Luck Residency and that the man she shared the room with was missing.
The deceased was a resident of Vasant Kunj. The defendant, who fled after committing the crime, was identified as Shivam Chauhan, a 28-year-old student and resident of Ghaziabad. He was aiming for a BA degree from an institute in Meerut.
After a case was registered, a preliminary investigation revealed that the couple came to the hotel on February 25, but the man fled the hotel at 11pm on February 27. After collecting further evidence, the police tracked the accused to Mitrauli in Uttar Pradesh and arrested him. According to DCP (Southwest) Gaurav Sharma, Chauhan confessed to his crime and revealed that he had been in a relationship with the late woman for the past four years, but for the past few days she is said to have cheated on him.
On the day of the incident, the woman received several calls from someone she claimed was her sister’s boyfriend. This resulted in the defendant losing his temper and banging his girlfriend’s head on the ground, after which the latter fell unconscious and eventually died, the DCP added.
