Police said: He strangled her and then slit her throat before abandoning her body, which was discovered the next day on December 7.A cop, privy to the case, said, "Primary facie, Bilal and Uma were in a relationship. Initial investigations suggested that the accused wanted to get rid of the victim as he was proposed to marry another woman on December 14 in UP's Saharanpur. He devised a plan and committed the crime. However, the case is being probed and concluding the motive of the murder is too early."Now, Haryana police have taken Bilal into custody and are investigating the incident, including the actual motive behind the killing.
