VV Chaudhary, additional commissioner of police (north-east) said, ‘On Thursday, we had contacted Aleem and instructed him to join the investigation on Friday. 

He was supposed to come to Delhi till 12 am, but till the evening he had not responded. However, at around 8.30 pm, Aleem reached the police station after which he was brought to the additional CP office in Seelampur.’

Shahjahan, domestic help of Rehana who first saw the victim’s body on Wednesday morning, has reportedly told police that Rehana and Aleem’s relationship had been quite strained since the past few months.
