Man who killed paramour in Delhi arrested

A 45-year-old man, who allegedly killed his paramour, before stuffing her body into a sack and dumping it in central Delhi's Daryaganj area, has been arrested, police said today.
The accused, Dhan Kumar Gurung, was tracked down by the police with the help of a mobile phone SIM card which was recovered from the inner garments on the body of the deceased woman, DCP (Central) Parmaditya said.
A week ago, Delhi Police had found the body of a 33-year-old woman inside a stitched sack, dumped at Daryaganj area. Her identity could not be verified immediately, following which police of several states were informed.

Taking leads from the sack in which the body was found the body, they reached a particular market in north Delhi's Lahori Gate area where such sacks are exclusively made. The dealers there mentioned about a man, apparently from thr north-east, who
lived nearby and had recently bought such a sack, police said.
The police later zeroed in on Gurung, a native of Darjeeling in West Bengal, by analysing the SIM card and tracked him down in Gurgaon. During interrogation, it emerged that he was married, though his wife had started living separate recently.
The deceased, also a native of Darjeeling, was married too and had two children. She was in a relationship with Gurung and had been living with him since her husband abandoned her. Gurung suspected her of having an affair with other men and often questioned the woman about her owning several mobile phones and SIM cards.

On February 4 night, he allegedly strangulated her, tied her limbs with ropes, packed the body into the sack and dumped it, police added.
