Exposing an alleged goof-up in probe by the local police, which had arrested the husband of a woman who was found murdered in outer Delhi on February 19, the Delhi Police’s Crime Branch has claimed that she was raped and murdered by three men.
The trio had also tried to rob the woman who was out with a male friend, they said. The man was found murdered a short distance away on February 20. The police had arrested the woman’s husband and said he strangulated them after finding out about his wife’s extra-marital affair.
The Crime Branch, however, contested the police’s claims after the arrest Jasbir Dabas, Devender and Manjeet. While DCP (Crime Branch) G Ram Gopal Naik did not offer details, he said they had received inputs.
DCP (Outer) M.N. Tiwari refused to comment saying he had not studied the case.
