New Delhi, April 29

The Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested the boyfriend of the girl who was found murdered in Karwalnagar area of Northeast Delhi. 

The girl was identified as Rohina Naaz alias Mahi. The accused has been identified as Vineet Panwar. Panwar, his brother Mohit and sister Parul were the main prime suspects in the murder. Vineet had allegedly strangled Rohina and hid her body in a bed box. Later, he disposed of the body around 12 km away.

As per the case details, the woman was found in Karawal Nagar on April 12 and rushed to GTB Hospital where she was declared dead.

The investigation showed that Panwar and his sister Parul, along with her friend Irfan, were involved in dumping the body in Karawal Nagar after killing her at Teliwada, Farsh Bazar,” DCP (Northeast) Joy Tirkey had said. While Parul, Mohit and Irfan were arrested by the local police, Vineet remained absconding.

The Delhi Crime Branch stated that Vineet told the police that he got to know the deceased in 2017 and started a live-in relationship with her. However, he got involved in a case of murder in 2017 in Uttar Pradesh and Rohina began living with his sister Parul. Vineet was sentenced to life imprisonment in the murder case, the police said. When he was granted parole by the Allahabad High Court in 2022 and started working as a security guard at a college, Rohina started forcing him to marry her as she allegedly wanted his property. 

The crime branch finally nabbed the accused after he had remained absconding for several weeks.
