DSP,Monica killed with countrymade weapons: Cops

“The DSP’s call details and our investigations show that he and Monica came to know each other through a missed call. They had known each other for six months. We cannot say anything about their relationship as it is a personal matter,” said Chaudhry.

He added: “On the day of the crime,Gill was carrying three cellphones. Monica knew Gill as Aman Verma and her friend Vandana Arora was her confidant. That night when Monica did not return home,her family had even come to the farmhouse to look for her. However,the killers had completely defaced her face,as a result of which,her family could not recognise her. Neither the DSP’s nor Monica’s family knew about the two.”

The farmhouse,where the two were found dead,was being used for dubious activities and Gill was a regular visitor there,said Chaudhry.

“While different teams are looking into theories like contract killing,revenge or honour killing,but I am applying my mind primarily to the theory of loot and burglary. The evidence that have come to light so far and even the postmortem reports show that the DSP was hit by a large item like a heavy iron rod and toka or kohara and the woman was hit by small sharp-edged items like chhurras or knives. These are used by criminals who are into small time thefts and burglaries,” said the DCP.

“The call records of the deceased had led the police to hold a massive door-to-door checking drive last week around Hambran. So far,we have questioned 50 people,he added.
