Anya Vats and her partner, Sanyam Sachdeva (face covered), were arrested in connection with the murder of Yuvraj Manchanda (left).
The allegations have emerged after the family learnt that a body recovered from a drain in Gurgaon on September 10 was allegedly that of 31-year-old Yuvraj Singh Manchanda — a day before his family approached Delhi Police to report him missing. Gurgaon police had allegedly recovered the body on September 10, while Manchanda’s sister filed the missing complaint on September 11 after the family had been unable to contact him, according to a statement issued by the family and reported by ANI. His sister eventually approached Lajpat Nagar police on September 11, leading to the registration of a missing-person FIR.
NEW DELHI: The family of a Delhi man allegedly murdered in Gurgaon has raised questions over the handling of his body, claiming it was cremated in “extraordinary haste” without informing them and alleging that details of the unidentified body were never uploaded on the police’s ZIPNET database, news agency ANI reported on Friday. Around 7pm, he spoke to his family and said he would return by 10pm. Police found through call records, CCTV footage and other technical evidence that Manchanda had been in contact with Vats and had told his family that he was going to Gurgaon to meet her.
When he did not come back and could no longer be reached, concerns grew.
The family has also alleged that the body was not uploaded on ZIPNET, a database used to help identify unidentified bodies and trace missing persons, ANI reported. The sequence has raised questions for the family about what happened between the recovery of the unidentified body and its cremation, and why they were allegedly not informed despite having reported Manchanda missing.
