NEW DELHI:

Deputy commissioner of police (DCP) (central) Nidhin Valsan said the Nabi Karim police received a call at 9.47 a.m. on Sunday from the staff at Hotel Rohit Deluxe in Paharganj. The caller told police that a couple had stayed overnight in a room. In the morning, they saw the man leave hurriedly while the woman was found lying motionless inside the bathroom. DCP Valsan said their relationship was estranged because the victim had an affair with another person, which angered the suspect and led to the murder.
