Cops hunt for Ggm dancer’s killer

GURUGRAM: Gurugram police on Saturday constituted four teams to trace the bouncer who had allegedly shot dead a 25-year-old woman on the Gurugram-faridabad road, on Friday hours before a court hearing in a rape case that she had filed against him, said police.

The suspect has been on the run since the murder, which was allegedly witnessed by the woman’s friend who lived in the same house.

Police said that the suspect did not use a mobile phone, making it not possible for police to trace him using his call records. The police are yet to identify the weapon used in the crime.

“We have deployed four teams at seven different locations to keep a close watch on his family, friends, and relatives. We are also monitoring the call record of his wife and two brothers to check if the accused has tried to contact them,” said Shamsher Singh, assistant commissioner of police (crime).

The suspect and the victim have a nine-month-old son, said police, adding that man was staying with the woman in the city for the last four days.

The suspect worked as a bouncer at a bar in a mall at Gurugram’s MG Road and the woman was a dancer at a Delhi club.

“He wanted to go back to his wife and two children, who lived in a Faridabad village, but the woman was asking him to get a divorce and to marry her,” Singh said.

The woman had filed a case of rape against him in November 2017 after which he was arrested. He was released on bail from Bhondsi Jail in April last year.

Police said the suspect was putting pressure on the woman to withdraw the case, but that her family members were not ready. Her mother and sister had come to her house on Thursday to appear before the court with her to record her statement. The accused man feared that it might go against him, leading to his conviction, said police.

After taking her out in a car with her roommate and another man late on Thursday night, the accused man allegedly pumped five bullets into her at Khushboo Chowk on the Gurugram-faridabad road.
