Gujarat man suspects girlfriend of having affair, strangles her with laptop charger
The police caught 25-year-old Rohan Parmar within a few hours of the murder by scanning CCTV footage of multiple DMart stores from where he had bought a bedsheet two days prior. He used the piece of cloth to wrap her body after killing her.
A man in Gujarat strangled his girlfriend, wrapped her body in a bedsheet and dumped her in a secluded location all because he suspected her of having an affair. The accused, who had been in a relationship with the victim for the past six months, killed her using a laptop charger, police said.
The incident happened on May 3 when 24-year-old Divya Parmar left her home to get mehendi applied to her hand. The accused, 25-year-old Rohan Parmar, met her and took her first to a water park in the Ankodia region and then to a nearby undisclosed site. There, an argument broke out between them, with him accusing her of having an affair. Enraged, he strangled her with the charger of a laptop. Then, he covered her body with a bedsheet, dumped it there and fled the scene. He also switched off her mobile phone.
Investigation has revealed that Rohan planned the murder five days before. Vadodara SP Sushil Agarwal told India Today that a DMart tag was found on the bedsheet that was used to wrap the victim's body. Based on this, police teams scanned CCTV footage of all DMarts, which revealed the buyer's identity and that he purchased the piece of item two days before the murder. The accused was caught within a few hours in Netrang.
The probe has also revealed that Rohan Parmar, a resident of Bodeli, worked at a cafe in the city. Meanwhile, Divya Parmar, worked at a private hospital located opposite to the cafe.
The victim's identification was confirmed by her parents at the hospital after they saw the body of an unidentified woman on social media, and went there for examination.
Further investigations into the case are underway.
