Shocking confession! Why did he murder Uma?
During the interrogation, Bilal revealed that he had been in contact with her for about two years, and they were in a live-in relationship. The woman wanted to marry him, but his family had arranged his marriage elsewhere. Fearing that she might interfere with his marriage and bring dishonour to his family, Bilal committed the crime. On the night of December 6, at around 8 pm, Bilal started travelling with her from Saharanpur.
Upon reaching Bahadurpur village, he stopped the car on some pretext and moved to the back seat. He then strangled the woman with her seatbelt. After driving for about 500 meters later, Bilal took the woman's body out of the car, dragged it into a field, slit her throat with a knife, and removed her clothes to prevent identification. SP Goyal added, “Bilal threw the head and the clothes somewhere in the jungle... Today, we will request an eight-day police remand... We have contacted the woman's father and brother.”
