Body in bed box: 2 held, search on for woman

Police on Thursday arrested two persons in connection with the murder of a 54-year-old man, whose decomposed body was found in a bed box in a flat in Southeast Delhi.

Police said the man, K K Chopra, allegedly had an affair with the girlfriend of one of the accused. ?Rocky smothered Chopra to death in his house in Tughlaqabad on July 10. He then wanted a place to dispose of the body and spoke to his friend Rajan. The two decided to hide the body in Rajan?s flat in Govindpuri,? a police officer said.

The body was discovevred on July 15 after neighbours complained of foul smell inside the house and called police. After the body was identified, police tracked Rajan and Rocky to Bareilly in UP. They were arrested after arriving in Delhi,? the officer said.

Police said Chopra allegedly had an affair with Rocky?s girlfriend Komal. Komal is also a suspect in the case, but is on the run, police said.

Rocky became suspicious that Komal was meeting Chopra. He confronted Chopra on July 10 and, in a fit of rage, smothered him with duct tape, police said.

According to police, Chopra divorced in 2012. He had a DDA flat in Kalkaji.

A case under sections 302 (murder), 120 A (criminal conspiracy) and 34 (crime committed by persons with common intention) of IPC has been filed against the accused.
