New Delhi: A 28-year-old man was arrested in southeast Delhi’s Sunlight Colony area on Monday for allegedly violating the corpse of a woman.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, Anil Kumar, a vagabond, was spotted by a passerby in a sexual position with the dead body of a woman. The woman’s face was battered and disfigured. The man called the police, said the report.
Kumar’s mental condition is said to be unstable and a magistrate directed that he be taken for a thorough medical check-up. He has denied killing the woman.
“He is mentally unfit and possibly suffers from necrophilia. It appears that the woman died at least 12 hours ago, but Kumar claimed that she was speaking to him the previous night. He claims he met her only an hour before he was arrested. Also, he claimed the woman was in love with him and used to come and meet him daily,” a police officer was quoted as saying.
Police registered a case of murder against unknown persons but charged Kumar with necrophilia.
The woman has a tattoo — the letters “BKS” — on one of her arms, but her face is beyond recognition, said the report.
This is the fourth case of an abandoned, mutilated body found in the city in 10 days. The other three had been found hacked and mutilated in South Delhi.
