Murder of Swiss woman in Delhi: How cops cracked the case | Delhi News

In the footage, Singh is seen in a Kabuli turban, a small distinctive headgear. The number of the car too is visible, but it took the cops a while to pinpoint its owner because it had been sold to new owners several times.

A police team finally managed to trace the car dealer from where Singh had purchased the Santro. The dealer told the cops that a man had bought the car from him on October 8, paying Rs 1.65 lakh of the Rs 1.8 lakh in cash. “The mobile number Singh gave to the dealer was not registered in his name and he later switched it off,” a police officer said. “The Aadhaar card he submitted as identity proof was of a woman. The dealer tried contacting him after selling the car for transfer of registration but constantly found the phone switched off.”

Police then used technical surveillance and tracked the accused man’s second number (88***15932), which was being used. The number was found to be registered correctly in Singh’s name, but the residence was incorrectly mentioned as Tilak Nagar.

In the meantime, another police team tracked the woman, purportedly a sex worker, whose Aadhaar card had been used by Singh. When questioned, she disclosed that she met the accused on September 3, when she had gone to give him a massage. It was then that he had taken her Aadhaar card and later used it when buying the car.

“Further technical analysis provided the phone numbers of Singh’s father, mother and brother, but their specific address could not be located in Janakpuri,” the officer disclosed. Based on technical surveillance the address of the accused was finally traced and he was subsequently arrested.
