As the probe into the Delhi bed box murder continues, more chilling details have now emerged. According to multiple reports, the accused Pooja Kumari dialled her live-in partner after killing his 11-year-old son and said, she took away the most precious thing from him.
The woman, a resident of Ranhola, who was on the run for several days and was finally arrested from Bakkarwala on Tuesday, police said.
CCTV footage of a camera outside a house in west Delhi’s Inderpuri where she allegedly strangled the boy has also emerged.
The purported CCTV footage shows the woman covering her face with a blue scarf and entering the house with a bag in her hand. In another footage, she was seen walking while trying to cover her face with the scarf.
Pooja had strangled the child when he was sleeping and then concealed his body inside the bed box, police said, adding that the woman was in a live-in relationship with the boy's father Jitender.
According to police, Jitender had assured Pooja that they would get married in court after he gets a divorce from his wife and they started living together by renting a house.
They often quarrelled over Jitender's divorce and after some time, he moved out of the rented house and started staying with his wife, police said.
He had moved out in December last year, and Pooja was furious about it. She assumed that Jitender left her because of his son, they said.
On Thursday, she met her friend and asked him to take her to Jitender's house as she was not aware of the exact location.
