About The Case:Beautician Anita Choudhary was murdered in the last week of October. Her body was chopped into six pieces and buried near the prime suspect, Ghulamuddin's residence, whom police escorted on November 11.
During interrogation, Gulamuddin confessed to luring Anita to his home on October 27, under the pretence of introducing her to a famous person. He confessed that he killed her for her jewellery.
However, police were not convinced and suspected the involvement of other miscreants as well. Gulamuddin and his wife, Abida Parveen, are currently under police custody. However, before appearing in court, Parveen declared herself innocent before the media and hinted at the involvement of some other person in the murder.
“My husband Gulamuddin knows everything. I was at her sister's place on the day of the incident. He (Gulamuddin) had told me that he would call a man to do all this. I am innocent and my daughters are innocent,” she said.
