The Delhi Police have arrested a woman in connection with the murder of a businessman who was found dead in a hotel room in the national capital last week.
The accused woman has been identified as Usha, a resident of Panipat in Haryana.
She was arrested on Friday for the murder of Deepak Sethi, a resident of Mayur Vihar, who was found dead in his room at the Baljeet Lodge guest house on March 31.
According to the police, the 29-year-old woman used three aliases -- Anjali, Nikki, and Nikita to befriend people and rob their money after taking them to hotels, where they were drugged.
On the evening of March 30, 53-year-old Sethi and the woman had checked into the hotel and he was found dead the next morning.
Meanwhile, the woman left the room at midnight in a car.?
During the investigation, the Police found froth coming out of his mouth and stains on the pillow. He had also consumed liquor in the room.
The cops also stumbled upon a handwritten note from the room in which the woman seemed to have apologised to her victim.
"You are a nice person. Sorry... sorry... sorry... understand that I was in a lot of compulsion, which made me do this to you. Extremely sorry," the note read.
Police got the first leads to the suspect while examining the victim's call records.
After analysing more than 500 contact details of Sethi, the police team found some "suspects' numbers", but the prime suspect's mobile number was also found issued on fake documents and it was activated on March 20.
"On further scrutiny of the call details records, it was found that the suspect's mobile phone was recharged somewhere in the area of Santgarh. However, the phone was recharged by one Chide, Nigerian national who told police that the phone number belongs to one Nikki aka Nikita, who is a friend of Madhumita, his live-in partner," Ravindra Singh Yadav, the Special Commissioner of Police (Crime), said.
According to the police, Madhumita and Usha were friends and she introduced Deepak to the accused.? ?
The duo had planned to robe Sethi on March 30 and Usha gave him some drugs after reaching the hotel. But he became unconscious due to an overdose.?
"When Sethi became unconscious, she took the bag, mobile phone and some jewellery of Sethi and fled from the hotel along with Madhumita who was waiting for her in a cab. It was a foolproof conspiracy as all the IDs and mobile numbers were taken on forged documents," Yadav said.
The cops have also recovered the bag and gold ring of the deceased, a fake Aadhaar card and a mobile phone which was used in the crime from the accused.
