NEW DELHI: The bodies of a man and a woman were found at a flat in west Delhi’s Kirti Nagar area. Police suspect that the man killed the woman and then died by suicide.On Thursday, a PCR call was received around 3:30 pm at the Kirti Nagar police station. The caller claimed that the bodies were lying on the second floor of a house in Ramesh Nagar.Deputy commissioner of police (west) Ghanshyam Bansal said a team from the local police station reached the spot and found the body of a man hanging from the ceiling fan. One girl was also found dead on a bed in the same room. The woman’s mother and her friends, who alerted cops about the incident, were inside the house.During the inquiry, the man was identified as Vijay Kumar, 28, who worked as a trainer at a gym in Kirti Nagar. The woman, Anchal, 28, lived with her family in West Patel Nagar. She was studying international business management at a university in Canada.The DCP said that crime and FSL teams were called to the spot. “We suspect that Kumar first killed the woman and then died by suicide. On the basis of our initial investigation, we have registered a case of murder,” he said.Cops are scanning CCTV footage of the area and analysing call detail records for the phone numbers of the deceased. “We are waiting for the postmortem report to ascertain the reason behind the death,” the officer said.An investigator said Anchal left her house on Wednesday after telling her family that she would return in a few hours, but when she didn’t return, a search was started and her mother met friends of Anchal. They took her to his house, where they saw the bodies. “They broke open the door and then alerted the cops. We suspect that there was an argument between Kumar and Anchal before the incident,” the cop said.Police are investigating the case from all angles, including a love affair gone sour. “The woman had come to Delhi in January to meet her family. She was about to leave for Canada in a few days,” the DCP said.The officer further said that they did not find any weapon at the spot.
