Nepal, June 8 — A relationship that started in a remote village in Nepal’s Baglung district ended in murder in Hyderabad, with a woman’s body being found stuffed in a trolley suitcase outside a residential colony on the outskirts of the capital, as reported by The Indian Express.
A special investigation team of Bachupally police station under the Cyberabad police cracked the murder mystery after finding the decomposed body on June 4.
Inspector J Upender Rao said that the woman has been identified as a 33-year-old from Baglung. “She was strangled to death by her partner, Vijay Thapa, who belongs to the same village in Nepal,” Rao said.Vijay, 30, and the woman first met on social media a year ago, when she was living in Baglung and he was working at a restaurant in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. She was already married with two children. When Vijay visited his village last year, they met and professed love to each other, police said, adding that once he returned to Hyderabad, their long-distance relationship continued.
On April 15, she left her home and travelled to Hyderabad with Vijay, and the two started living in a slum in Jubilee Hills. According to police, Vijay got a job as a chef at a restaurant in Bachupally, and the couple moved to a small house in Indiramma Colony in Borampet.
According to police, while the woman cut off all contact with her family back in Nepal, the couple fought because Vijay was not prepared to marry her. According to the police, on May 23, the couple fought because Vijay was allegedly forcing her to undergo an abortion.
“In a fit of rage, Vijay strangled her with the nylon strap of a bag. After leaving the body in the house for a day, Vijay visited a bag store and purchased a large trolley suitcase in which he stuffed her body and carried it to a colony located in Bachupally, where he dumped it in the bushes. He went back home and also reported to work.
On June 4, a watchman alerted residents to a foul smell coming from the bushes and located the suitcase. Balanagar Zone DCP K Suresh Kumar formed an SIT, which went through CCTV footage from various cameras and identified Vijay carrying the suitcase. Cops also verified footage from the shop where he purchased it. Police then traced him to the house.
“He confessed to murdering her in a fit of rage,” Rao said.
