On July 25, a constable of the Haryana Police was booked for allegedly strangling his relative to death, with whom he had been living in Gurugram.

According to the police, the victim was identified as Sangeeta (25), a native of Rajasthan, and a mother of a three-year-old child.

Upon receiving information regarding the incident, a police team reached the spot and sent the body for post-mortem.

Sangeeta’s brother, Narendra, had accused Ravindra of killing his sister. Based on his complaint, a case was registered against the accused, who is currently absconding.
