MP murder
Madhya Pradesh man slits woman's throat, posts video with body saying 'don't be unfaithful'
Jabalpur/IBNS: Even as the horrific details of the Delhi murder case are dominating the headlines where a man killed his live-in-partner and dumped her body parts in a forest, another ghastly killing came to light from Madhya Pradesh Tuesday, where a man allegedly slit a woman's throat, shot a video with the victim's body and posted it on social media.
In this incident too, the murder was committed a week ago, but police are still on the lookout for accused Abhijit Patidar, who claims to have killed Shilpa Jharia, 25, by slitting her throat.
The blood-smeared body of the victim was recovered from a room at Mekhla Resort in Jabalpur.
In a shocking video he posted on social media, Abhijit says, "Bewafai Nahi Karne Ka" (do not be unfaithful). He then lifts a blanket to reveal a woman lying in bed, with her throat slit.
In another viral video, identifying himself as a trader from Patna, Abhijit names one Jitendra Kumar as his business partner and alleges that the victim had affairs with both of them.
Abhijit claimed that the victim, Shilpa, had borrowed around Rs. 12 lakhs from Jitendra and fled to Jabalpur. It was upon Jitendra's directions that he murdered the woman, said he.
In a third post, Abhijit says: "Babu heaven mein phir milenge" (dear, we'll meet again in heaven).
Abhijit also named Jitendra's aide Sumit Patel. Both Jitendra and Sumit have been arrested from Bihar and Jabalpur Police are currently interrogating them, police said.
Special Superintendent of Police Priyanka Shukla said Abhijit had stayed at Jitendra's house in Patna for a month.
She said that apart from Bihar, police teams had been dispatched to different parts of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat in search of Abhijit.
Sharing details of the murder, Additional Superintendent of Police Shivesh Baghel said that the accused had booked a room on Nov 6 at Mekhla Resort.
CCTV footage revealed that Abhijit was alone in his room that night and the next day, the victim woman came to meet him at the resort in the afternoon. They ordered food and after about an hour, the accused left the hotel alone locking the room, Baghel said.
On Nov 8, the hotel management broke open the door and found the woman's body, the police official said.
Four special teams, along with the police's cyber cell, are on the lookout for the accused, the officer added.
