In a shocking incident, a 32-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her live-in partner in the Shiv Nagar locality of Hisar town. The accused, Gaurav, later walked into a police post and confessed to the crime.
Victim and Accused Identified
The deceased has been identified as Pooja (32), who was married but left her husband to live with Gaurav (28). According to police, Pooja had been married twice. After her first husband died, she married her brother-in-law. She had two sons from her first marriage and a daughter from her second marriage. Following the breakdown of her second marriage, she started living with Gaurav.
Confession at Police Post
The accused reached the Surya Nagar police chowki and said, "I have killed Pooja." The police accompanied him to the rented accommodation in Shiv Nagar, where Pooja's body was found lying inside a room. The police took the body into custody and sent it to the civil hospital for post-mortem examination.
Details of the Crime
The police revealed that the incident took place in the wee hours when the couple had an argument, which turned violent. Gaurav allegedly attacked Pooja repeatedly with a knife, inflicting multiple injuries on her neck, abdomen, and back, resulting in her death on the spot. The police have recovered the knife used in the crime.
Motive Behind the Murder
The accused allegedly told the police that Pooja was in contact with another man for the past five months, which led to frequent disputes between them. Gaurav works as an e-rickshaw driver and had shifted to the rented accommodation in Shiv Nagar locality around two months ago.
