Forensic Student Accused of Murder Disowned by Family in 2024

In a disturbing turn of events, the family of a 21-year-old forensic science student, who is allegedly responsible for the murder of her live-in partner, had publicly disowned her in 2024. According to a report by India Today, the woman’s parents announced their decision to cut all ties with her through a newspaper advertisement placed on July 8, 2024. A copy of this advertisement has reportedly been submitted as evidence in court.

The accused, who was reportedly pursuing a forensic science degree and later switched to computer science, is said to have meticulously planned the murder of her 32-year-old live-in partner, a UPSC aspirant. She is believed to have conspired with her ex-boyfriend, an LPG distributor, and used her knowledge of forensic science, a fascination with crime shows, and her ex-partner’s expertise with cylinders to stage the crime scene. The goal was to make the murder, which occurred on October 6 in Delhi’s Timarpur area, appear as an accidental fire, thereby misleading investigators.

The motive behind the alleged crime is thought to stem from the victim’s possession of incriminating videos. Delhi police have stated that the victim had allegedly recorded obscene videos of the accused and over 15 other women. Authorities are currently examining the contents of a hard disk recovered from the victim’s flat to determine if these videos were recorded with consent.

The investigation reveals that the accused confided in her ex-partner about these videos, leading to a plan for revenge involving a third associate. The trio reportedly visited the victim’s flat on the night of October 5, where they allegedly strangled and beat him to death. Following the assault, they are accused of pouring ghee (clarified butter) and alcohol over the body before setting it ablaze to destroy evidence. The forensic student’s supposed understanding of crime scene manipulation was reportedly key to this elaborate plan.
