A very disturbing murder case has emerged from Bhopal’s Gayatri Nagar. Here, a 29-year-old woman, Ritika Sen, was strangled to death by her live-in partner. The accused is an unemployed 32-year-old man named Sachin Rajput.

According to reports, the incident occurred on the night of June 27 following a heated argument. Sachin, was deeply suspicious of Ritika’s relationship with another employee at the office. Sachin is said to have committed the crime in a fit of rage.

Killer Sleeps with Dead Body for days

Following the murder, Sachin allegedly wrapped Ritika’s body in a blanket. He then left her body on their bed. In a bizarre and chilling turn, he continued to sleep next to the decomposing body for two nights. According to police, he consumed large amounts of alcohol during this period, descending into a state of shock and denial.

The murder came to light when Sachin, in an intoxicated state, confessed the crime to a friend on Sunday. Sachin’s friend Anuj in Misrod initially dismissed it as a drunken outburst joke. However, Anuj only believed him after he repeated the confession the following morning. He then informed the Bajaria police on Monday around 5 PM about the murder.

Police Find Decomposed Body Wrapped in Blanket

Upon receiving the information about the murder the Police reached the scene immediately. Police found Ritika’s body still wrapped in the same blanket as described by the accused. Initial investigations revealed that the couple had been living together for over three and a half years. The couple reportedly moved into the rented Gayatri Nagar apartment nine months ago.

Accused Was Married, Jealous, and Unemployed

Further investigations into the matter revealed that Sachin is married and has two children. Originally from Sironj in Vidisha district, he had been living with Ritika while unemployed. His growing jealousy over Ritika’s professional life reportedly fueled the fatal confrontation.

The Police has taken Sachin Rajput into custody, and a case of murder has been registered. Authorities await the post-mortem report to complete further legal steps. Investigations into the full circumstances surrounding the crime are ongoing.
