Aayushi murder Man kills 22-year-old daughter over 'stubborn attitude', packs body in a suitcase, dumps in Mathura
New Delhi/IBNS: A 22-year-old woman, whose body was found in a suitcase near the Yamuna Expressway in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura last week, was killed by her father, police said Monday.
The victim, identified as Aayushi Chaudhary, was allegedly shot dead by her father Nitesh Yadav as he got furious over the fact that "she had gone out for some days" without telling him.
He was also enraged that she had married a man from a different caste and that she often stayed out till late at night, said reports.
Both parents of Ayushi have been arrested for her murder, said police.
She was pursuing a Bachelor of Computer Application in Delhi.
After the police recovered the suitcase, they started tracing phones, checked CCTV footage, used social media, and also put up posters in Delhi to identify the woman.
Concrete information about her was received from an unknown call on Sunday morning and later, her mother and brother identified her through photographs.
The father, who lives in Badarpur in south Delhi, was arrested after the police questioned him when he went to identify the body.
According to the police, Aayushi had married a man named Chhatrapal, from another caste, without telling her family.
Her parents were angry at what they believed was her defiance and 'stubborn' attitude.
After shooting Aayushi with his licensed gun, Nitesh Yadav allegedly packed her body in a suitcase and dumped it in Mathura. He was helped by Aayushi's mother, said reports.
Aayushi's body was found wrapped in plastic in a large red suitcase near the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura last Friday. The suitcase was spotted by local labourers who then informed the police.
There was blood on the face and head and there were injury marks all over the body, the police had said.
