Jabalpur: While the horrific details of the murder of a woman, allegedly by her male live-in partner in Delhi, are still pouring in, blood-smeared nude body of a 25-year-old woman was reportedly found in a room at Mekhla Resort in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur.
The deceased was identified as Shilpa Jharia.
According to reports, a video went viral over social media showing a man saying, “Bewafai Nahi Karne Ka (do not be unfaithful)”, and lifting a blanket to reveal the woman lying in bed, with her throat slit and blood all over the bed, on the floor as well as on the walls.
It was a selfie video that was taken soon after the man allegedly cut her throat and she was still taking her last breaths. Police informed that he posted the video on the Instagram account which has gone viral now.
It has been a week since the incident, but police are still on the lookout for Abhijit Patidar, who claims to have killed Shilpa.
In another viral video, identifying himself as a trader from Patna, Abhijit names one Jitendra Kumar as his business partner and alleged that the victim had affairs with both of them.
Abhijit alleged that the victim had borrowed around Rs 12 lakh from Jitendra and fled to Jabalpur. It was upon Jitendra’s instructions that he murdered the woman, he said.
In a third post, Abhijit said “Babu, heaven mein phir milenge” (dear, we’ll meet again in heaven). He also named Jitendra’s aide Sumit Patel.
Both Jitendra and Sumit have been arrested from Bihar and Jabalpur Police are currently interrogating them, police said.
Special Superintendent of Police (SP) Priyanka Shukla said Abhijit had stayed at Jitendra’s house in Patna for a month. She said that apart from Bihar, police teams had been dispatched to different parts of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat in search of Abhijit.
It is pertinent to mention here that Additional Superintendent of Police Shivesh Baghel shared the details and said that the accused had booked a room on November 6 at Mekhla Resort.
