Man kills pregnant teenage girlfriend in Haryana after she proposes to him; arrested

In a shocking incident from Haryana, two men have been arrested for the alleged murder of a 19-year-old pregnant woman whose body was found buried in a well in a deserted area of ​​Madinah, authorities said on Friday.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was in a relationship with one of the suspects, identified as Sanju, who was allegedly under pressure from her to marry her. Besides Sanju, his accomplice, Pankaj, was also taken into custody; However, a third suspect, identified as Ritik, remains at large as police continue to search for him.

The grim discovery of the victim’s body followed a report by her brother, who filed a missing person complaint with the Delhi Police on October 22. He expressed concern that a man his sister had recently befriended could be involved in her disappearance.

After receiving the complaint, investigation teams were deployed, resulting in the recovery of the woman’s body. Authorities discovered that the suspects had rented a car on October 21 and taken the victim along with her belongings. During the police interrogation, both Sanju and Pankaj confessed to the crime, detailing how they traveled to Haryana’s Rohtak district, where they killed her and hid her body in a four-foot deep pit.

The incident escalated after a heated argument over Karwa Chauth during which the victim was fasting. After the dispute, Sanju, along with Pankaj and Ritik, decided to go on a long drive, which ultimately led to the tragic events of that day.

The police investigation is on and efforts are on to locate the third suspect, Ritik. Relatives of the victim claim she was pregnant at the time of her death, adding to the tragedy surrounding this case.
