Jaipur Man Held for Brutal Murder, Concealed Body for Over a Day
In a shocking incident from Rajasthan's capital, Jaipur police have arrested a 36-year-old man for the alleged brutal murder of a 52-year-old woman. The accused, identified as Jitendra Singh, is accused of killing Babita Sharma following a dispute over money. The crime occurred on Sunday evening, but the body was discovered only after the accused attempted to dispose of it more than 30 hours later.
Dispute Over Money Turns Fatal in Subash Colony
The tragic sequence of events unfolded in the Subash Colony under the Shastri Nagar police station limits. According to police officials, Singh had invited the victim, Babita Sharma, to his residence for a meeting on Sunday evening. What began as a discussion soon escalated into a violent confrontation over financial matters.
During the heated altercation, the situation turned deadly. Police state that Jitendra Singh allegedly pushed Babita Sharma against a wall and then attacked her with a sharp weapon. The assault resulted in severe head injuries and other grave wounds, which proved to be fatal instantly.
Panic and Concealment: Body Hidden for Over 30 Hours
In the immediate aftermath of the killing, the accused was gripped by panic. Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Karan Sharma described the scene, stating, "Seeing the body lying in a pool of blood, Singh panicked." Instead of reporting the incident, Singh chose to conceal his crime.
He kept the victim's body hidden inside his own home for over 30 hours. It was only on Tuesday that he moved the body, dumping it in a neighbour's yard in a desperate attempt to avoid detection. This act ultimately led to the discovery of the crime and triggered the police investigation.
Swift Police Action Leads to Arrest
Following the discovery of the body, the Shastri Nagar police launched a swift investigation. Based on evidence and local inquiries, they zeroed in on Jitendra Singh. He was arrested on Tuesday and is now in police custody. The authorities have confirmed that the primary motive appears to be a financial dispute between the accused and the victim.
This gruesome murder has sent shockwaves through the Subash Colony neighbourhood. The police are continuing their investigation to piece together the complete timeline of events and establish all facts surrounding the case. The incident highlights the extreme consequences that personal disputes can sometimes take, ending in irreversible tragedy.
