Meerut, May 22 (PTI) A 25-year-old nurse at a medical college was allegedly strangled to death and her body dumped outside the facility’s emergency ward, police said on Friday.
A hospital ward attendant and his sister were booked in connection with the incident.
The victim, Anjali Sharma, worked as a contract nurse and had been living with her parents, they said.
According to the police, Sharma had become friends with Sufiyan, a ward attendant employed at the same hospital.
She left home for duty on Thursday morning, but went to Sufiyan’s house instead, where she was strangled with a dupatta by Sufiyan and his sister, Sajida, they said.
The accused later allegedly carried her body in an e-rickshaw and abandoned it outside the emergency ward of the medical college.
Hospital staff identified Sharma and informed her family and the police.
City Superintendent of Police Vinayak Gopal Bhosale said CCTV footage and questioning cast suspicion on Sajida, who was taken into custody.
During interrogation, Sufiyan’s involvement also came to light, he said. A hunt is on for him. PTI COR CDN SMV VN VN
