A murder case was cracked inside the mortuary of the Lok Nayak Hospital after a SIM card was found concealed in a woman’s undergarments, moments before a post-mortem was conducted. Police have now identified the deceased and nabbed the killer.
According to police, the 33-year-old woman was killed by her live-in partner who suspected her of cheating on him. The accused, 45-year-old Dhan Kumar Gurung, was arrested in Gurgaon, where he works with a hospital.
A native of Darjeeling, the deceased had reportedly abandoned her husband and children a few years ago to live with the accused, who too had left his family.
The woman’s body was found stuffed inside a plastic sack in Central Delhi’s Daryaganj area on February 5. She was strangled with a dupatta and her feet were tied with a string.
The sack, meanwhile, was filled with potatoes and radish in an attempt to fool people.
Parmaditya, DCP (Central), said that the woman’s facial features suggested she hailed from north-east India. The sack in which her body was found bore the words ‘Kalash Tiptur Copra’, which led the police to Mithai Pul area in Lahori Gate — where these sacks are sold. Police then visited all guest houses and hotels in the area to check if the woman had checked in at any of them.
“We narrowed down to one dharamshala where this woman was believed to have stayed. The vital clues, however, came from the post-mortem room,” the DCP said.
The doctors who found the SIM card handed it over to the police, who were then able to identify the woman and the killer.
The problem allegedly began a few months ago when Gurung doubted her of being involved with other men. “He suspected that she had more SIM cards, which she would use to talk to other men,” the DCP said.
Recently, the woman had expressed her desire to visit her native home in Darjeeling. Police quoted the suspect as saying that he had insisted on accompanying her, which the woman did not agree to.
The accused then followed her to the dharamshala at Lahori Gate on February 3. An argument ensued between the couple, which ended with Gurung allegedly strangling her. After this, he reportedly bought a sack and some vegetables, stuffed her body inside and sealed it. Later, he took the sack to Daryanganj with help from an unsuspecting rickshaw puller.
