Swiss Woman’s Murder: Delhi Police Suspects Human Trafficking Angle

New Delhi: There could be a human trafficking angle in the murder of a Swiss woman in Delhi.  The body of 30-year-old Nina Berger was found in West Delhi’s Tilak Nagar on Friday. The accused, Gurpreet Singh, who invited Nina to visit India and then allegedly strangled her, has been arrested.

Apart from Rs 2 crore case, police found photographs and contacts of dozens of women on Singh’s phone, NDTV reported quoting sources, adding that there is a huge sum of money in his bank account too.

At least three firearms, ammunition, 12 SIM cards and 4 cellphones were recovered during a search at his home. Cops have informed other probe agencies to widen the investigation. Apparently, Singh uses a car that was bought using the Aadhaar card of a sex worker. Cops are now probing if he is involved in human trafficking, sources told NDTV.

Singh told police that he connected with Nina over the Omegle chatting app. He then visited her in Switzerland several times. He also told the police that he wanted to marry Nina, but suspected she was having an affair. So he invited her to India, allegedly murdered her and dumped her body on the road.

The probe has found that Singh had initially kept Nina’s body in the car, but when it started stinking, he dumped it near a government school. Police found the body and tracked CCTV footage to zero in on Singh. Police sources said the accused is constantly changing his statements.
