Delhi man kills minor cousin, stuffs body in suitcase
A man in Delhi did something very bad.
Police say he hurt his young cousin, who was still a child.
He was angry because she had a boyfriend.
He strangled her, which means he squeezed her neck so she could not breathe.
Then he put her body in a big bag called a suitcase.
He used a borrowed motorcycle to carry the suitcase away.
He left the suitcase in a part of Delhi called Burari.
A person who saw what he was doing told the police about it.
The police caught the man, and now he is under arrest while they investigate what happened.
A labourer named Avinash, a resident of Mukundpur, allegedly strangled his minor cousin on Sunday.
Police said Avinash became irritated with the girl after learning she was in a relationship with a man.
The accused allegedly stuffed the victim's body in a suitcase and dumped it in Delhi's Burari area.
An informer who saw Avinash borrow a motorcycle and leave with a suitcase alerted police after it was returned without the suitcase.
Police laid a trap and arrested Avinash, according to DCP (Outer North) Shobhit D Saksena.
