It seems straight out of a Bollywood potboiler.

A youth hailing from a well-to-do family visits a brothel, falls in love with a sex worker and marries her. But his obsession with brothel continues and he gets hooked to another sex worker and sells his entire property to pay off her debts so that she can live with her. But when she refuses to come with him even after that, he kills her.

According to the police, Tannu Chawla (27) and Yogesh (30), both residents of Mehrauli, were arrested yesterday by the staff of Central District police for allegedly killing one Neha who worked as a sex worker at G.B Road under Kamla Market police station.
 

"Last Tuesday, one Sarfaraz, who is the caretaker of brothel house No-57, told police that in the morning when he reached the brothel, he observed that one girl Neha was not present. On inquiry, he came to know that on the previous night she went to a room with a customer and had not been seen thereafter," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Alok Kumar.

On this, he checked the room and found her lying in a pool of blood. A police team reached the spot and found the body of Neha in a room on the first floor of the brothel. After inspection of the body and the scene of crime, a case was registered and investigation was taken up, he said.

During investigation, it came out that the customer, who had accompanied the deceased last night was, her regular customer and the deceased used to talk to him on cell phone which was recovered from the spot.
