Later, during the interrogation, Mishra confessed to the crime and also disclosed the involvement of two other persons – Abhay Kumar, the husband’s aide, and the husband himself.

DDA Flat Murder Case
On Friday, complaints of a foul smell from one of the DDA flats in Vivek Vihar were received by the Delhi Police. As they rushed to the site, they found the house locked from the outside and noticed blood stains near the back door.
As the police broke into the flat, they discovered a decomposed body wrapped in a blanket, put inside the bed box.
Later that night, the police tracked down the 65-year-old house owner near Surajmal Park in Anand Vihar and detained him.
Detailing the case, the police said that the 35-year-old victim, Anjali, had caught her husband in a compromising situation with two other people in their Delhi flat.
Upon discovering her husband’s affair, she left the house for her parents’ place in Punjab’s Ludhiana, officials said.
On March 21, her husband, Ashish, convinced her to return to Delhi. Two days later, he, along with his friend and their landlord, allegedly killed her, hid her body inside the bed box, and escaped to Jaipur, where they stayed at Ashish’s cousin’s house.
While the landlord returned to Delhi, Ashish and his friend Abhay fled to Bihar.
As the three men were figuring out how to dispose of the body, the police received a call on March 28 about the bad smell, which led to the discovery of the crime and ruined their plan.
