Shocking Discovery in Gurugram Apartment
In a chilling incident, the decomposed body of a 28-year-old woman was discovered under a bed in Gurugram’s Sector 70. The victim, Priya Sharma (name changed), had been missing for a week before her landlord found her remains. Police suspect her live-in partner, Rohit Verma (name changed), who is now absconding.
How the Body Was Found
The landlord entered the apartment after repeated attempts to collect unpaid rent. A foul odor led him to uncover the horrifying scene—Priya’s body hidden beneath the bed. Police and forensic teams confirmed signs of a struggle, including bloodstains and broken items.
Victim’s Background & Abusive Relationship
Priya, originally from Dehradun, worked at a Gurugram IT firm and had been in a live-in relationship with Rohit for two years. Neighbors reported frequent arguments, while friends revealed Rohit’s violent tendencies. “She feared him but never imagined this,” a friend shared anonymously.
Manhunt for the Absconding Partner
Rohit Verma, a 32-year-old marketing executive, vanished after the murder. Police are tracking his phone records, ATM transactions, and CCTV footage. His family in Hisar claims no knowledge of his location.
Domestic Violence & Legal Gaps in Live-In Relationships
The case highlights rising domestic violence in live-in partnerships. While laws like the Domestic Violence Act offer protection, stigma and fear prevent many victims from seeking help. Legal experts urge stronger safeguards for women in cohabiting relationships.
Public Outrage & Police Action
Gurugram residents and activists demand justice, pressing for stricter enforcement of women’s safety laws. Police assure a thorough investigation, with interstate alerts issued to apprehend Rohit.
Next Steps in the Investigation
Forensic reports and an autopsy may reveal further details. Authorities are also probing financial motives or possible accomplices. Priya’s family pleads for justice: “No one should suffer like this.”
