The accused, identified by police as Mohammad Anwar, was arrested by Gurgaon police from New Delhi railway station late on Friday night.

He allegedly dumped the girl in the deserted fields of Shikarpur village in Delhi’s Chhawla after strangulating her. Police recovered the decomposed body of the victim after the accused identified the spot. “Anwar was produced before a court on Saturday where he was sent to five-day police remand,” a police spokesperson said.

The victim’s family hails from Bihar, and lives in a rented accommodation in Gurgaon’s Patel Nagar.
