Uttar Pradesh police on Monday arrested the husband of a 61-year-old Supreme Court lawyer for allegedly murdering her at their house in Noida. The deceased, identified as Renu Sinha was found in a bathroom of her house in the posh Sector 30 of Noida on Sunday.
After the woman’s dead body was recovered, her brother accused his brother-in-law, who was absconding, of killing his sister.
Police later tracked down his phone location to the bungalow’s store room, where he hid for more than 36 hours, and arrested him, according to a report by NDTV.
As per the report, the motive behind the murder was a disagreement between the couple over selling off their bungalow.
According to police, the husband wanted to sell off the property and had even taken a token sum from a prospective buyer. However, the lawyer was not ready for it, which led to frequent fights between the couple.
The Case
Sinha’s dead body was found after her brother Amit informed the local police station that she had not answered her phone calls for the last two days.
Amit has raised suspicion that his sister’s husband is behind the act and claimed that his number was not reachable.
A police team, along with the woman’s brother, reached the house and broke open the door. Upon searching the house, Renu Sinha was found dead inside a bathroom. There were traces of blood in her ear.
The woman’s brother claimed that the couple had frequent fights, DCP Harish Chander told reporters.
Senior police officers, forensic experts, and a dog squad are at the spot, police said in a statement.
