Delhi Couple Arrested in Homicide Case of Man Found in Mattress SackPreviousNext

In April, a decomposed male body with a tattoo reading "Amit-Kiran" was found wrapped in mattresses and blankets inside a plastic sack near a factory in West Delhi's Moti Nagar. Police identified the victim after a two-month investigation involving over 300 CCTV footage analyses and raids across several states. The victim's brother Gopal and sister-in-law Soma were arrested on June 15, accused of killing him reportedly due to disputes over alleged harassment. Post-mortem confirmed death by manual strangulation and head injury, ruling it a homicide.
