The Police today recovered the body of a 40-year-old woman from the third floor of an apartment in the Kasba area of the metropolis.
Officers from Kasba Police Station rushed to the third floor of Kanan apartment on 55, Rajdanga Main Road where the deceased Anmol Jain (44) used to live, the police said.
Anmol's husband Manoj Kumar Jain found her lying dead on the floor of the flat when he reached there after his calls to her mobile phone went unanswered, they said.
According to police, the accused claimed that he had
first met Akanksha in 2007 and remained in contact with her on a social networking site.
He later changed his version, stating that the victim came to live with him in Bhopal after they became friends on Facebook last year, the officer said, adding that Udyan had a lavish lifestyle and used to travel in costly cars.
"We have been verifying details. He would be produced in a court today," the police officer said.
Police also said Akanksha's family had lodged a complaint with West Bengal Police in Bankura after they lost touch with her.
Akanksha's father claimed that his daughter had left home in June 2016 seeking job. She was in touch with her parents over phone, but it stopped in December last year and since then remained in contact only through text messages.
She told her parents in a message that she was working in the US.
Suspecting her activities, the family traced the phone number through which she used to text and found that the number was registered on an address in Saket Nagar here.
Later, they lodged a complaint with Bankura police on January 5.
The West Bengal police kept an eye on Udyan's phone records and detained him after reaching Bhopal yesterday. He then spilled the beans during interrogation.
Police said that based on Udyan's admission, they started digging the marble platform at his house and recovered the body this morning.
