Delhi: Deepika Chauhan, 26 years old, was found dead in her Janakpuri home with her body stuffed inside a box bed on Friday. This unveiled a ghastly crime done by her husband, Dhanraj. The bike taxi rider, according to police reports, had committed murder by sealing the mouth of his wife, which would have slowed down decomposition, and fled to Amritsar.Husband&#39s dark intentionsInvestigations revealed that Dhanraj planned to dismember his wife&#39s body and distribute it in isolation so that there would be least suspicion. Cops said that the accused also searched for tutorials of dismemberment on YouTube. His nefarious plans did not end there—the accused was going back to Delhi to kill a friend of his wife whom he had suspected of an affair with her when he was caught.Tracking down the fugitiveDhanraj was caught while returning from Amritsar on Monday. As he had put off his phone, a UPI payment to one of his accounts inadvertently guided them to his location. He confessed to the murder and divulged his design for the second killing under interrogation.Turbulent relationshipDeepika, a spa worker, was the earning member of the family since Dhanraj was wasting all his earnings on liquor. Their strained relationship had reached a point where Dhanraj killed Deepika on December 29. Three phones were recovered from Dhanraj when he was taken into custody - all of them belonged to Deepika. While Dhanraj had no criminal record prior, the horrific nature of the crime has sent shockwaves through the streets of Delhi.
