India, March 30 -- A day after the Delhi Police recovered the decomposing body of a 35-year-old woman from a box bed at a flat in Shahdara, officers on Saturday said they have arrested two people in connection with the case.

Police identified the arrested accused as tuition teacher Vivekanand Mishra, 64, who owned the flat, and Abhay Kumar Jha, 29. They said initial investigations suggest the woman, identified as Ludhiana resident Anjali Kumar, was killed on March 23.

Anjali's husband Ashish Kumar is also a suspect, and is currently absconding. According to investigators, Jha is a resident of Supaul district in Bihar, and Mishra and Ashish are originally from the same district. All three knew each other for many years, said police.
