Recently, police received information that Panwar was present in Ghaziabad's Loni. A team of the Crime Branch rushed there and arrested the accused, a senior police officer said.
Panwar admitted that in 2017, he got acquainted with Naaz with whom he started a live-in relationship. The same year he was arrested in a murder case in Baghpat and Naaz started living with Parul at Teliwara, Farsh Bazar, the officer said.
Later, Panwar was sentenced to life imprisonment in the case. In 2022, he got parole and started working as a security guard in an engineering college at Ghaziabad, police said.
Naaz was pressurising Panwar to marry her. So, he hatched a conspiracy with his brother Mohit and sister Parul to kill the woman, they said.
After killing her in Teliwara, he, along with Parul's friend, dumped the body at Karawal Nagar, police said.
