A 36-year-old man was arrested for killing another man and then engaging in necrophilia in outer Delhi’s Alipur, police here said on Friday.
The incident happened on February 9, they said, adding the accused has been identified as Pervinder, a resident of Sonipat. The victim had initially consented to a physical relationship with Pervinder and accepted Rs 500 from him. However, he withdrew his consent after reaching the accused’s rented house in Singhu village, angering the accused, they said.
On February 11, Pervinder’s landlord called the police informing them about a body lying in his tenant’s room, a senior police officer said.
He told police that the body was in a naked condition and blood was oozing out from the deceased’s head, upper arm and private parts, the officer said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer North) Ravi Kumar Singh said the accused has not visited his Alipur residence for the last two days and nobody knew about his whereabouts. On March 22, police arrested the accused near a park in Singhu village, the DCP said.
During interrogation, Pervinder revealed that he met the victim at a wine shop in the area around 8-10 days before the incident and they became friends, he said.
