Mayur Vihar murder: She wanted to save her marriage, she thought murder was only way out, says police

Police are yet to verify the allegations made by her.

According to the accused, she had gone to Samachar Apartments at 10 am on the day of the incident, after she was told she would get the original copy of the video, said sources.

“She was told that the video, in a pen drive, was in the TV. But it was not handed over to her. She ended up killing the man as she thought that was her only way out of the situation… she wanted to save her marriage,” said a police officer.

Footage from CCTV cameras at the entrance gate of the residential complex show the woman carrying the TV set with her when she is leaving Samachar Apartments. She dumped the TV and a pen drive in a drain in Dabri, said a police officer. However, police have not yet recovered the TV.

“It was her first visit to Samachar Apartments. She claimed she used to visit the government quarters in Lodhi Colony area earlier,” said the officer.

The woman got married in January this year and her family members had no idea what was going on, said police sources.

“She had graduated from Delhi University and completed her post-graduation from an institute in Delhi. After that, she stayed in a PG accommodation as she looked for jobs and prepared for the UPSC examinations,” said the officer.

On whether the allegations made by the accused will be probed, a police officer said, “If she files a complaint in court, we will investigate the matter.”
