Delhi Crime Shocker: Why 19-year-old murdered pregnant influencer, police explain

In Rohtak Haryana, a 21-year-old man named Sanju alias Salim has been arrested for allegedly killing his 19-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Sonia Kumari, and burying her in a field.

The police reports revealed that Sonia urged Sanju to marry her, but he refused, claiming that his parents did not approve of their relationship.

Sonia Kumari’s family said she was pregnant and wanted to keep the baby, but Sanju had insisted on an abortion. At Karwa Chauth, Sonia met Sanju to discuss the marriage, and the next day she left the house with cash and some belongings, but was later found dead.

The investigation began when Sonia’s brother, Manish, reported her missing on October 22 as he suspected Sanju’s involvement. During interrogation, Sanju admitted that he killed Sonia with the help of his friends, Pankaj Kumar and Ritik, and buried her body in Madina village, Rohtak.

Police are awaiting autopsy results to confirm whether Sonia was pregnant. A case has been filed and investigations are continuing. Police are also looking for the third suspect, Ritik.

Demanding strict action against those involved, the victim’s mother stated that her daughter, a social media influencer who made short videos, had met Sanju a few months ago. They became friends, but the family was shocked to learn that his real name was Saleem. “He confessed to killing and burying my daughter. We want strict action against all suspects,” she said.

The victim’s brother-in-law added that the suspect had used a fake name when he first befriended her.
