Decomposing Body of Woman Found in Delhi Flat's Bed Box; House Owner Detained

Police are investigating the suspected murder, with forensic analysis underway and connections to the victim's husband being explored.

A decomposing body of a woman, aged 35-50, was discovered in a bed box inside a locked flat in Delhi's Shahdara area on March 28, 2025.
The house owner, Vivekanand Mishra, aged 55, has been detained after providing inconsistent statements during police questioning.
The victim is believed to have been murdered three days before the discovery, with forensic teams working to determine the cause of death, including possible strangulation or stabbing.
Police suspect a connection between Mishra and the victim's husband, who reportedly frequented the flat, and are investigating a potential personal dispute or relationship as a motive.
Neighbors reported a foul smell from the flat, prompting police intervention; the case highlights broader concerns about domestic violence and concealed murders in India.
