The incident took place at approximately 4:30 pm on Tuesday when the woman visited the PG to meet the suspect. Further reports suggest that they remained in a room together for about an hour, while two other men were also on the premises.

During questioning, the PG owner informed the police that the 22-year-old suspect had requested to use the room for a few hours to meet a woman. To his horror, he returned later that evening, he found the room was unlocked and the man was gone. His ordeal intensified when he discovered a leg protruding from the bed's storage compartment.

“The body bore strangulation marks and injuries on the forehead. It was sent for a post-mortem examination,” said joint commissioner of police (western range) Jatin Narwal, as per media reports.

Pinned, strangled

Senior police officials reported that the suspect confessed to the murder during interrogation, claiming that he acted in a fit of rage. The violence reportedly erupted after the woman refused to engage in physical relations with the suspect’s uncle and his friend.

Following the refusal, investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly pinned the woman to the floor and smothered her with a blanket before strangling her. 

According to police, the victim sustained forehead injuries during the struggle. The primary suspect then hid the body inside a bed box at his friend's PG, while his uncle and another man stood guard outside and the pair subsequently assisted the 22-year-old in escaping.

The authorities meanwhile have registered a case under sections 103 (murder) and 238 (disappearance of evidence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Officials added that they are currently investigating whether the woman was sexually harassed by the three men prior to the murder.
