A 35-year-old woman was found murdered in a hotel room in Faridabad’s Ballabhgarh on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, said police.
She lived in rented accommodation at Gadpuri in Palwal. Her husband worked in a private firm in Bengaluru while the couple’s children lived in Munger.
Police said the victim was identified as Chandni Devi, a native of Kharagpur in Bihar’s Munger district. It was on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday when one of the hotel employees found the door of their room open, according to police.
“He is the prime suspect in the murder case and will be arrested soon. The body will be handed over to the family after an autopsy in which the exact cause of death will be clear,” he added. Investigators said that the victim and a suspect named Shekhar, 39, had booked the room from 10am on Saturday by identifying themselves as a married couple.
They said that the suspect who was staying in the room with the victim, was on the run. Police said preliminary investigations indicate that she was strangled to death as there were injury marks on her neck. They said that the woman’s husband was in Bengaluru and her family members back in Bihar were alerted about her death and they are expected to reach Faridabad by Monday evening.
