A woman’s body was recovered from a water tank inside the campus of Greater Noida’s Gautam Buddha University in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, triggering panic in the varsity.
Authorities suspect the involvement of the victim’s husband and her mother-in-law, who have been absconding since Monday morning.
A preliminary probe revealed that the woman’s husband worked in the JIMS Hospital nearby. The two would often quarrel, residents have told police.
There was a fight on Sunday night too. Police suspect that the fight ended in the woman’s murder. They are now looking for her husband and mother-in-law. Based on a complaint by the woman’s relatives, a case has been registered and teams formed to track down the missing accused, NDTV reported.
Senior police officer Shivhari Meena said the body has been sent for autopsy. “We have registered a case and a team has been formed to search for the absconding accused. All aspects are being probed and the matter will be unearthed soon,” he said.
