A Nepal resident allegedly murdered his live-in partner, and hid her body in-between blankets before bolting.

The couple lived as tenants at a retired sub-inspector house in Ashok Vihar area.

An FIR has been registered at Sector 5 police station, but the accused is still at large.

According to the police, the deceased has been identified as 41-year-old, Naina Sunawar— a native of West Bengal. She was living with a chowmein seller, a Nepal resident, Bharat alias Sagar Thappa.

Around a month back, they started to live on the first floor of the retired sub-inspector of Gurugram police house, and Thappa went missing a week back.

The house was locked, and the house owner assumed, that they had gone out of the station, but on Tuesday morning when an unbearable stench came from the first-floor, the landlord called the police.

A police team arrived, and opened the door after breaking the lock. They found the body of the woman wrapped in a blanket.

Another cloth was found wrapped over her neck, and the police said, that she was first strangulated to death, and then covered with the blanket.

On the complaint of the house owner, an FIR was registered against Bharat alias Sagar Thapa under sections 302 (murder), 201 (hiding the evidence) of IPC at Sector 5 police station.

“We kept the body in the mortuary and trying to identify her family. The suspect is still missing, but the probe is on”, said sub-inspector Devi Charan, the investigating officer.
