The victim, identified as Meena, worked as a domestic help and was found lying in a pool of blood on the rooftop of a building near the doctor’s residence. Police reached the scene at approximately 11:36 am after receiving information about the incident and found Gupta seated beside the body at the time of their arrival.
According to police officials, Meena sustained multiple injuries on her body. Gupta was immediately detained and interrogated, during which he reportedly confessed to the crime. He stated that he first struck her with a bat and then attacked her with a knife, resulting in her death at the scene.
During interrogation, the accused claimed that he committed the act because the domestic help was allegedly practicing black magic, which he said was disturbing the peace in his home. He further alleged that his family had been under distress due to these practices. However, police officials have stated that Gupta has been giving inconsistent and varying statements during questioning.
Officials also noted that the accused has a history of depression over a prolonged period.
Investigators are currently examining the exact relationship between Gupta and Meena, and are also probing whether any prior dispute existed between them that could have led to the incident. A crime team has been deployed to the location to assist in the investigation.
The murder weapons, including a bat and a knife, have been recovered from the scene. Police are also reviewing CCTV footage from the surrounding area to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the crime.
The accused is currently in police custody, and a case has been registered under charges of murder. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to establish the complete circumstances surrounding the incident.
