The Delhi Police on Thursday arrested three  men for killing a 54-year-old woman lender and burying her body in a graveyard in Delhi’s Nangloi. The graveyard caretaker has also been arrested. The police exhumed the body which was handed over to her family who cremated it on Thursday.

The three accused — identified as Mubin Khan, Rehan, and Navin Khan —  confessed to killing Meena Wadhavan for demanding back her money, according to the police.

Meena, a resident of Avantika Enclave in Mangolpuri, was reported missing on January 2 at Mangolpuri Police Station.

The accused were arrested after their crime was caught in CCTV footage, said DCP Harinder Kumar Singh.

Initially, when police started looking for her, they found her mobile phone switched off. Soon they found that two of the people who had last called her on mobile were at the same location as she was, and based on the finding, apprehended one Mobin.

The police later detained another suspect Navin on Wednesday evening. He  confessed to his involvement in the killing, the police said. Navin revealed that he and Mobin knew the woman for the last 4-5 years, and she was killed by a third man, Rehan, on the afternoon of January 2 in outer Delhi’s Mangeram Park in Mobin’s room.

At night, the three took her body to Nangloi graveyard and buried it there with the connivance of the cemetery caretaker, the DCP said.

The police have exhumed the body of the victim and sent it for post mortem to see if the woman was sexually assaulted  before being killed, Singh said.

As per the police, Mobin drives an auto, while Navin is a tailor and Rehan is a barber. The police have also identified the fourth accused in the case, the caretaker of the graveyard, as Sayyad Ali.
