In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves across Delhi, a brutal murder case has come to light involving the alleged murder of a woman who was a bought wife, by her husband. The tragic tale unfolds as the husband reportedly “bought” the woman for ₹70,000, married her, and subsequently ended her life, leaving her body discarded in a forested area in Fatehpur Beri, southwest Delhi.
The accused, identified as Dharamveer, along with two accomplices named Arum and Satyavan, have been apprehended by the Delhi police in connection with the heinous crime. The Deputy Commissioner of Police (south), Chandan Chowdhary, recounted that the case emerged when a PCR call was received on Saturday, reporting the discovery of a woman’s lifeless body in a forest near the Jheel Khurd border in Fatehpur Beri. Law enforcement authorities swiftly responded, taking control of the scene and initiating an investigation.
Through a combination of technical analysis and manual surveillance, the police identified the suspicious movement of an autorickshaw around 1:40 am on the same day. The route of the autorickshaw was traced, and Arun, the driver of the vehicle and a resident of Chhatarpur, was apprehended near Gadaipur Band road.
Arun’s confession unraveled the chilling sequence of events. He identified the victim as Sweety, the wife of Dharamveer. It was revealed that Sweety was killed by strangulation near the Haryana border by Dharamveer and Satyavan. The lifeless body was then disposed of in the forest. Arun disclosed that Dharamveer’s discontent stemmed from Sweety’s behavior, including frequent elopements from her house for extended periods without any communication.
The investigation further unearthed that Sweety’s background and family information remained shrouded in mystery. Dharamveer had purportedly entered into marriage by paying ₹70,000 to a woman making her a bought wife and casting a sinister shadow over the circumstances leading to their union.
In response to these grave revelations, a case has been registered at Fatehpur Beri police station, citing sections 302 (murder), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of an offence or giving false information to screen the offender), and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
The auto-rickshaw central to the commission of the crime has been seized by the police. This unsettling case serves as a grim reminder of the complexities and darkness that can fester within domestic relationships, leaving tragedy and trauma in its wake.
