It was claimed that her in-laws had supposedly killed her and buried her body outside her house and were able to keep her body hidden there for close to two months after they had reported that she was missing back in April.

The woman is originally of Shikohabad, in Firozabad district of Uttar Pradesh, where she married two years ago to Arun Singh, who lives in Roshan Nagar in Faridabad.

According to a senior investigating officer quoted by PTI, the murder of a 25-year old woman in Faridabad was planned on April 15 and the husband and the mother-in-law also took an active part in it.

After interrogations, the father-in-law, Bhoop Singh allegedly admitted that through the plan, his wife was taken to a wedding in Etah in Uttar Pradesh.

According to sources, on April 21, her husband Arun is thought to have put sleeping pills in the food of his wife as well as his sister Kajal after which both of them fell into a deep sleep in different rooms.

He subsequently summoned Arun to the room where they dumped the corpse into a pit earlier dug outside their house and they covered it with bricks and soil. Neighbours were informed that the pit was that of connecting to a sewer connection. This body was found on June 21 on the bottom of the hole covered with a slab of concrete above the 10-foot pit.

Police reports showed that the hole was dug some days before the murder. Exhumation was done in the presence of Naib Tehsildar Jaswant Singh. Bhoop Singh and his wife Sonia, son Arun Singh and daughter Kajal have been booked by an FIR at Palla police station.

To doubt the version by him, the family of the victim turned to the Faridabad police and encouraged them to question the father-in-law. On further investigation, Bhoop Singh eventually confessed.

Police added that husband, mother in-law and sister in-law might also be arrested in case their involvement in the case is proved.
