Greater Noida, Jan. 14 -- A day after a 25-year-old woman was found dead under a car in Greater Noida's Beta 2, police said they have arrested a 28-year-old stalker for allegedly strangling her after she repeatedly rejected his advances, police said on Tuesday, adding that they are also investigating allegations of rape. The suspect, identified as Ankit Kumar, was apprehended following a brief gunfight late Monday, police said. He is a married fruit-seller who police said has two minor children. The victim, a call centre employee from Mahoba in Uttar Pradesh who lived with her brother in Beta 2, was found dead under a car barely 50 metres from her home on Monday morning. Her family alleged she was also raped, citing that her clothes were found disarranged. Police said they are investigating the sexual assault allegation. According to additional deputy commissioner of police (Greater Noida) Sudhir Kumar, the suspect operated a fruit shop near the woman's residence and had become obsessed with her over the past year. After a day of investigation, police tracked Kumar after scanning CCTV surveillance on Tuesday. "After his arrest, Kumar told us that he came in contact with a woman around a year back, when she used to buy fruits from him," said ADCP, adding, "He told us that he had become obsessed with her after having a brief conversation with her. When he asked her out and she refused, Kumar began pressuring her." "On Tuesday, when she was walking towards her home, he started following her. When she ignored him, he said he strangled her between two parked cars and dragged her body under a car." The victim's sister-in-law told HT the family was unaware of any harassment. "We don't know if Kumar was harassing her for long. She never mentioned it to us," she said. "At around 7 am, we were informed that her body was spotted under a car," she said, adding that when they discovered the body, the victim's clothes were below her waist and ligature marks were visible on her neck. A case under Section 103 (murder) of the BNS has been registered. Authorities are awaiting the post-mortem report to determine if sexual assault occurred. Asked about the family's allegation, assistant commissioner of police Hemant Upadhyay noted the disarranged clothing could have resulted from the "body being dragged" under the car....
