Gurugram, April 23 -- A 22-year-old man was arrested from Palwal on Tuesday on charges of murdering a 45-year-old woman in Faridabad after she allegedly pressured him to restart their relationship, police said on Wednesday. Police said the suspect's 49-year-old father had earlier been arrested on April 18 for helping him escape to Palwal on a motorcycle after the crime on April 15. The woman went missing on the morning of April 15 after leaving her home in Kabulpur, Sector 58. Her body was recovered by family members on April 17 from a drain on the outskirts of Kabulpur. Her clothes and mangalsutra were found at a distance. ACP (crime) Varun Kumar Dahiya said the woman's husband and son worked in Chennai. "She had befriended the suspect three years ago and had a relationship with him. However, he severed all connections with her after getting married in January 2025," he said. He said the woman had recently begun threatening to disclose the relationship to the suspect's wife and family. "After repeated threats, he planned the murder," Dahiya said. According to police, the suspect picked up the woman near her residence on April 15 when she was on way to deposit an electricity bill. After she made the payment, he took her to a secluded area near Kabulpur. Investigators said the suspect confessed that the two had a heated argument, after which he slammed her to the ground and compressed her neck with his legs, killing her. He dumped the body in the drain. "He feared identification, so he pulled out the body, removed her clothes and mangalsutra, threw them several metres away, and dumped the body again before fleeing," Dahiya said. Police said during interrogation of the father, he told police about the spot where the suspect was hiding, leading to his arrest. An FIR was registered at the Sector 58 polstation on April 17 under sections 103(ice 1) (murder) and 238(a) (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on a complaint by the woman's brother-in-law....
