Delhi Man Arrested After Woman Found Dead in His Car

A late-night fight in Delhi’s Chhawla area ended in a crime that shocked the neighbourhood. A 44-year-old woman lost her life after her live-in partner, Virendra Singh, attacked her during a heated argument about his drinking.

Police say Virendra, 35, moved her body to his car soon after the fight. He wanted to take it somewhere far, but because he was drunk, he could not drive properly. He left the body in the back seat, went inside the house again, drank more, and fell asleep.

The next morning, a neighbour spotted the woman’s body inside a parked Swift car and alerted the police.

When officers reached the spot, they found injury marks and scratches on the woman’s face. Police later learned that the couple had been staying together for two years. Virendra, who is married and has children, had bought a three-floor house in Chhawla using money from the sale of the woman’s earlier home in Palam.

Around ?21 lakh from that sale was still with Virendra, which often became the reason for fights between them.

During questioning, Virendra accepted that he killed her. He said the fight started because she tried to stop him from drinking, and in anger, he pressed her neck with his elbow.

After this, he called two friends—a man and a woman—who helped him take the body down to the car. They left soon after.

Virendra tried to drive away to get rid of the body but only moved about 100 metres due to his drunken state. He then returned home and slept.

Police arrested him from the house. They are now looking for the two friends who helped him shift the body.
