A 35-year-old woman security guard was hammered to death allegedly by her live-in partner in East Delhi’s Vinod Nagar on Tuesday because he found her speaking to someone on phone but she refused to share her phone’s password with him, the Delhi Police said after arresting the suspect on Saturday.
On Tuesday evening, the woman, Mamta Sharma, was found dead with her head smashed after her 17-year-old son returned home. A hammer lying near the body was believed to be the murder weapon & her 39-year-old live-in partner, Brahmpal Singh, was the prime suspect as he was allegedly absconding.
On Saturday, the Police’s crime branch arrested Singh after receiving a tip-off that he was loitering near Akshardham Mandir in East Delhi.
Mamta Sharma was a private security guard who had separated from her husband 3 years ago. “The couple’s divorce was yet to be finalised,” said Rakesh Paweriya, deputy commissioner of police (crime branch).
The DCP said that “About two years ago, she met Singh who is a married man with three children. He has worked odd jobs, but primarily earned his living by renting out his building in East Delhi’s Khichripur".
The Officer said that “They entered in a relationship soon after they met, & two months ago, they began living together in a two-bedroom rented flat in West Vinod Nagar".
Sharma’s older son stayed with them while her younger, 14-year-old son, lived with a relative.
The Officer said that “Of late, Sharma wanted to end their relationship due to the constant bickering by Singh’s wife & his family".
While Singh wanted to continue living with Sharma, he suspected her of talking to someone else, the officer said, quoting the arrested man. “She would refuse to share her mobile phone’s password, which made him further suspicious of her,” said DCP Paweriya.
On Tuesday evening, Sharma’s son was out to bring dinner from a restaurant when Singh allegedly found her speaking over the phone, said the DCP. When she refused to answer him & then refused to share her phone’s password yet again, he allegedly picked up a hammer & bludgeoned her to death before fleeing the crime spot.
