Her married lover is said to be behind this incident, who has been arrested by the police. The incident has created a sensation in the area, especially because the family of another tenant was living next to the room where the body was kept, but no one was even aware of this horrific truth. The matter came to light when a foul smell started coming from the room when the fridge was switched off.
Identification of the deceased and arrest of the accused
According to the police, the name of the deceased was Pinky alias Pratibha Prajapati. Accused Sanjay Patidar has accepted his crime. According to the information, Sanjay and Pinky were in a live-in relationship for the last five years. The accused told that he was married and is the father of two children.
Sanjay revealed that Pinky was pressurizing him for marriage, due to which the dispute escalated and he strangulated her to death. After the murder, with the help of his partner Vinod Dave, he kept the body in the fridge and turned it on high mode so that the smell could not come out.
