A 30-year-old Nepali national residing in Hyderabad allegedly killed his live-in partner – who was also from Nepal – packed his body into a travel bag, and dumped it in an isolated area, officials said.
He was arrested after the incident came to light on June 4 with the discovery of the bag containing the body of the victim – Tara Bohra – near a residential area in the city’s Bachupally.
The accused was identified as Vijay Toppa alias Wilson, who was employed as a chef at a nearby restaurant. The couple lived in a live-in relationship.
The police said that the duo came to know each other on Facebook and then entered a relationship. Tara was already married and had two children. Despite this, she shifted to Hyderabad on April 15 and started sharing a rented accommodation in Bowrampet with Vijay.
On May 23, the couple had an argument over her pregnancy, and Vijay allegedly strangled Tara in a fit of rage. Upon her death, he packed her body in a travel bag and left it in an isolated location.
A local watchman found the body and informed the police. Senior Cyberabad Police officials, along with forensic teams, reached the spot and launched a detailed investigation.
To nab the accused, five special teams were formed. Using CCTV footage and other technical clues, police tracked the suspect, Vijay, to the Medchal district and arrested him. During questioning, he admitted to committing the crime.
