Woman Came From Canada To Meet Lover; He Murdered And Buried Her In Haryana’s Sonipat

NEW DELHI: A young woman from Haryana's Rohtak who had gone to Canada last year to pursue higher studies was allegedly murdered and buried in a field in Sonipat by her lover in June 2022 when she came to meet him, according to the police. The Crime Investigation Agency of Bhiwani, which is investigating the case, found her skeletal remains on Tuesday along the Garhi Jhanjhara road in Ganaur. Police said Sunil – the accused - murdered the victim (Monica) in June 2022 and buried her body in a 10-foot-deep ditch in the fields of a farmhouse on June 29.

Media reports quoted CIA Bhiwani in-charge Ravindra as saying that the accused shot her twice in the head and then buried her body in his field in order to destroy the evidence. The accused was arrested from Uttar Pradesh on April 2. 

'Victim Made Several Trips To India'

 

Sunil and Monica got married at a Ghaziabad temple in May last year when the woman returned from Canada, the officer said, adding she had gone to Canada on a student visa in January 2022 after clearing the IELTS exam. "During our investigations, it came to the fore that between January 2022 and May 2022, the woman made a couple of trips to India," he added.

Victim’s Family Unaware Of Her Return From Canada  

 

Kumar said the woman's family was unaware of her return to the country. They had last year lodged a missing person complaint after failing to contact with her. "Their marriage was also registered before a court, where the accused concealed the fact that he was already married," he said.

Kumar said as the woman was a neighbour of the accused in Gumad village in Sonipat, where she was living with her aunt, she was aware of the man's marital status.

Motive Behind Killing

 

On why Sunil killed her, the police officer said, "Sunil did not enjoy a good marital relationship with his wife and wanted to settle abroad. He had thought if Monica gets Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada, he too could move there... However, when he felt his plan was not materialising, he murdered Monica." He said preliminary investigations revealed that the farmhouse belongs to the accused, but it was being verified.

DNA Samples Sent For Forensic Tests

 
The police officer said the skeletal remains have been sent for post-mortem examination to Sonipat Civil Hospital, while the procedure for conducting a DNA test was also underway. A murder case has been registered against the accused. He has also been booked under other charges, including concealing before a court that he was already married, he said.
