New Delhi: A week after the mysterious death of Rohit Shekhar Tiwari, son of former UP CM ND Tiwari, his wife Apoorva Shukla Tiwari has confessed to murdering her husband after a brawl.
"Apoorva confessed that she has murdered her husband and said their marriage was unhappy. She said her hopes and dreams were all dashed. She smothered Rohit to death... He was in an inebriated state and not in a position to resist," said senior police officer Rajiv Ranjan.
The officer's remarks came hours after the police arrested Apoorva Tiwari from her south Delhi flat.
"She entered Rohit's room on April 16 and executed the crime. She later destroyed the evidence. All this happened within one-and-half hours," said the officer, adding she initially tried to mislead the Crime Branch team.
On April 15, Rohit, 40, his mother Ujjwala and a relative had gone to vote for the Lok Sabha election. The next day, Rohit was found unconscious in their South Delhi home and was later declared dead. He was earlier believed to have died of a cardiac arrest.
Ujjwala Sharma mother of Shekhar said, "Apoorva had an affair with someone before getting married to Shekhar. Her family is money-minded and has always had an eye on our property. They wanted to grab the Defence Colony property from my sons Shekhar and Sidharth."
When ETV India interacted with Rohit Shekhar's mother Ujjwala Sharma, she said that crime branch had enough evidence against Apoorva and she confessed that she had murdered her son. "She must be severely punished for her crime," she added.
