New Delhi: The Delhi police have arrested a 20-year-old man, who was desperate to marry the wife of his friend, allegedly bludgeoned him with a brick and left him unconscious on a railway track on Tuesday.
On the intervening night of June 24-25, accused Gulkesh called his friend Dalbir and took him to the railway track near Zakhira and hit him on the head with a brick, rendering him unconscious.
According to a police release, the accused threw the body of the Dalbir on the railway track so that it could be cut into pieces.
After committing the crime, Gulkesh called the police and alleged that the body of his acquaintance was lying on the railway track near Prem Nagar Phatak, Rama Road.
During preliminary investigation, Gulkesh made all-out efforts to mislead the police.
"During interrogation, his mobile phone was checked and on the basis of call records, he broke down and disclosed that he had an illicit relationship with the wife of the deceased. He wanted to marry Pooja (name changed) the wife of deceased, but she was not willing to marry with him although she also liked him. Therefore, in order to get married to the wife of the deceased, he hatched a plan to eliminate the deceased," the police release said.
The police are investigating the role of deceased's wife or any other person in the case.
