Kolkata, November 13, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
West Bengal Police have arrested Dharambir, the boyfriend of 26-year-old Anjali Sau, in Delhi in connection with her murder. The accused was apprehended near Anand Vihar railway station, police said on Friday.
The arrest was carried out by a special team led by a sub-inspector of Baranagar police station in North 24 Parganas district. Barrackpore Police Commissariat Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Kuntal Banerjee said the accused was being brought to West Bengal from Delhi and that further details would be shared after his interrogation.
Sau’s body was found on the night of November 10 inside a residential flat in a five-storey housing cooperative in Baranagar. The 26-year-old was found lying inside the flat with visible injury marks, while the circumstances and cause of her death initially remained unclear.
Sau’s sister and brother-in-law had reportedly been living in the flat for around four years. Her brother-in-law, who is now based in Sreerampore in Hooghly district, had left the keys with a neighbour before the incident. Sau collected the keys from the neighbour and entered the flat on the afternoon of November 10.
The deceased woman, whose family home is in the nearby Dunlop area, used to stay at the flat occasionally.
Police began suspecting Dharambir’s involvement after relatives reportedly expressed doubts about his role. He had allegedly gone missing after Sau’s body was discovered.
Investigators traced his movements using mobile tower location data and information from confidential sources, which indicated that he had travelled from Kolkata to Delhi. A police team subsequently tracked him down and arrested him near Anand Vihar station.
Police are investigating the circumstances and possible motive behind the murder. The accused’s alleged role will be examined further during questioning.
