A senior police officer requesting anonymity said, “There were some tattoos of names on the woman’s hand. Initially, we grilled several people and traced the phone number used to report about a woman’s body lying in the fields. The phone belonged to the deceased, and the caller was identified as her live-in partner, Rinku. The call records showed frequent calls between the two.”

Mandothi police check-post in-charge Mukesh Kumar said that the woman Mamta got married to a Rohtak resident eight-years-ago, and after some years both started living separately without taking divorce. “She later befriended Rinku and both started living together in Sonepat for the last two years. Frequent quarrels took place between the couple as the woman was allegedly in contact with some other person,” said Kumar.
