New Delhi, December 15: In a gruesome incident, a software engineer allegedly killed his wife, cut the body into pieces and hid it in a deep freezer for nearly two months.
Rajesh Gulati (37) was staying with his wife Anupama Gulati and two children in Dehradun for the last 18 months.
The incident came to light when the brother of the 33-year-old victim Anupama Gulati lodged a police complaint after he did not get satisfactory reply from the engineer about his sister’s whereabouts.
Acting on the complaint, police arrested Anupama’s husband Rajesh who confessed to the crime.
In his confession Rajesh said ” We were yelling and a fight started. In a fit of rage I banged her head against the bed. She went unconscious. Now, since a domestic violence case was already going on, I could not have let people come to know about it. I, then, decided to kill her.”
According to Inspector General of Garhwal range, MA Ganapathy, “Rajesh bought a deep freezer after the very act and stashed all the pieces of his wife’s body into it. Everyday Rajesh went out and dumped some of the pieces little by little on the outskirts of the city. He confessed to his crime while he was being interrogated.”
Rajesh has been taken into police custody and further investigations are going on in the case.
