Dehradun: The software engineer who allegedly murdered his wife, cut the body into pieces and hid it in a deep freezer for nearly two months, was on Monday sent to four days police remand by a local court.
Rajesh Gulati (37), who hails from Delhi, was produced before Chief Judicial Magistrate Amrendra Singh, who sent him to four-day police remand, SSP Dehra Dun G S Mortolia said. The incident came to light on Sunday when Sujan Kumar, brother of the victim Anupama Gulati (33), lodged a complaint with the police after he failed to get a satisfactory answer from the accused about his sister.
After the complaint, police arrested Gulati from his rented accommodation at Prakash Nagar area here, Martolia said, adding that Gulati confessed that he had murdered Anupama on October 17.
The couple used to fight frequently, and, on October 17, Gulati banged Anupama's head against a wall after which she fell unconscious. He then strangulated her in a fit of rage and cut the corpse into pieces later, hiding it in a deep freezer, Martolia said.
The couple have four-year-old twins, who were reportedly told by the accused that their mother had gone to Delhi. Gulati also told Anupama's family that his relations with his wife had improved. However, her brother grew suspicious and came to Dehra Dun on Sunday to inquire about his sister.
The couple had married in 1999 after a long courtship, but their relations turned sour later. They had settled down in Dehra Dun just 18 months back, after they returned from the US.
Meanwhile, the couple's children are in the custody of their maternal uncle, who is taking them to Delhi, police said.
Inspector General of Police, Garhwal, M A Ganapathy said the police would investigate the case under "rare of the rarest cases" and take help of forensic experts.
