Former Army Man and Two Associates Arrested for Gurugram Woman's Murder Over Land DisputePreviousNext

Police arrested Sandeep, a former army man court-martialled in 2023, and two contract killers for the murder of 35-37-year-old Neetu in Gurugram's Sohna. The victim was found suffocated with limbs tied and tape over her face on October 16. The motive reportedly involved a land dispute, as Sandeep sought to sell family property, but Neetu opposed the sale and persuaded her husband to return an advance payment. The case was solved within 12 hours of her last rites, with suspects arrested from Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.
