New Delhi: Two persons, including a woman, have been arrested in connection with the murder early this month of a 65-year-old woman NGO worker in Man Sarovar Park area in north east Delhi. Initially, the police had a dozen persons under their radar as suspects in the murder of Vimla Tiwari, who was found dead at her house with a head injury and a rope around neck on September 4.
"Following further probe, we zeroed in on Surender and the 30-year-old woman from Khora Colony in Ghazibad," said AK Singla, DCP(north east).
Police investigation also revealed there was a complaint against Vimla that she was allegedly involved in providing space to couple seeking "privacy".
Some persons were detained based on that complaint, but nothing substantial came up to make a cognisable offence against her.
Later, Vimla had filed complaints against the beat staff in this connection.
"Her involvement in such activities was confirmed from the interrogation of his son Ankit. He was living separately for the last few years due the embarrassment he had to face because of his mother's activities," Singla said.
The accused woman told police during interrogation that she tried to set up an independent network parallel to that of Vimla due to which she scolded her, the officer said. She said they thought of eliminating her after the run-in, added the officer.
