Lugging a large trolley bag at 2 am in Ghaziabad, a woman seemed out of place to the beat cops in the Teela Mod area on Monday morning. When police opened the bag, they were shocked to discover the body of a 23-year-old man inside. The woman, identified as 32-year-old Preeti Sharma, was arrested from the spot for allegedly killing Firoz, who was her live-in partner for close to four years, police said.
During investigation, the woman said that the body was that of her live-in partner, whose throat she had slit using a razor after a fight, police alleged.
Police said that Sharma told them that she was estranged from her husband and was living with Firoz for the past 3-4 years. “She said she wanted to marry him, but he did not give her a clear answer.
On Sunday night, when she asked him again to marry her, he started calling her names and in a fit of rage, she slit his throat using a razor blade. She bought a big suitcase from Seelampur and put the body inside. She planned to keep the suitcase in a train at Ghaziabad railway station,” the police press note said.
The razor used by the accused in the commission of the crime has been recovered, police said.
