DCP (South) Ankit Chauhan said a PCR call was received at 9.19 pm from Pratap Gali in Nanak Chand Basti regarding a disturbance from the woman’s house. The caller, who was informed by his parents about sounds of a quarrel coming from the house, reached the location, noticed bloodstains on the staircase and alerted the police.

The crime and forensic teams inspected the scene and collected evidence for examination. “Preliminary investigation suggests that the woman was with someone she knew and a quarrel broke out between them, during which she was stabbed multiple times,” a police officer said.
