The police said that landlady’s brother Praveen Verma has been arrested on the complaint of the girl’s father who made a PCR call when the accused allegedly tried to force the family to cremate the body.
When the father got suspicious, he made a PCR call and Narela police station staff reached the spot, and took the body to the Babu Jagjivan Ram hospital in Jahangirpuri, the FIR stated.
The father has alleged in the FIR that the landlady’s brother Praveen Verma, along with others, killed his daughter.
The Gurgaon Police has registered a case under sections 302 (murder) and 120B (punishment of criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code and SC/ST Act.
They said further sections were added in the FIR after the postmortem report confirmed sexual assault, and Verma was arrested.
