New Delhi: A 26-year-old man strangulated his wife to death and with the help of his brothers, he chopped her body into seven pieces and threw them into the forest area in South-East Delhi. Police claimed that they have arrested three accused in the case after they got a clue from a carton which was used to dispose of the body pieces. The accused was identified as Mohammad Sajid Ali Ansari, Mohammad Ishteyaque Alam Ansari and Mohammad Hasmat Ali Ansari. The incident came to light on June 21 at 8:17 am after a PCR call regarding a bag and a carton lying in the jungle near Okhla Tank was received at the Sarita Vihar police station.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South-East) Chinmoy Biswal stated that the carton in which the dead body was packed had the name of a Packers and Movers company. The police traced the address of this company and found it to be located in Gurugram. Consignments delivered in India as per the company records were scrutinised.
The consignment was delivered to one Javed (UP) from Sharjah (United Arab of Emirates), who was questioned by the police in which he claimed that in March 2018, he was contacted by a dealer to rent out his Delhi flat. He rented out his flat to earn some money. He along with his mother went to Delhi and also took some empty cartons of Packers and Movers company to pack the belongings. He stored the cartons in a room due to non-availability of space in his car and one empty carton was left behind.
"Javed rented out his flat to Sajid Ali Ansari and his brother Ishtiyaque Alam. Ali was apprehended from South-East Delhi. He claimed that he married one Juhi and had two kids but due to poor economic condition, the couple quarrelled frequently," said the police. Meanwhile, Sajid Ali developed closeness with another woman in Champaran, Bihar, and he wanted to eliminate his wife Juhi as their relations were already estranged.
On the night of June 20, Ali had a fight with his wife and he strangulated the neck of his wife. After strangulation, the accused called his brother Ishtiyaque Alam and told him about the incident. "Ishtiyaque joined him to chop the body into pieces and dispose them to evade detection. After they chopped off the body, they put the pieces into a bag and a carton. Later, they told their elder brother Hasmat Ali Ansari about it. The brothers wrapped the body and threw it in the forested area of Okhla," said the police officer. Sajid Ali Ansari has completed B.Tech (Mechanical Engineering) and he had married Juhi in 2014. Juhi was a graduate and has completed B.A. Hons (Psychology).
