On Friday, a 23-year-old woman was found dead on the floor of her house in the Om Nagar area in northwest Delhi with a dupatta tied around her neck and another attached to the ceiling fan of the room, a police officer said.

Evidence suggested that someone entered the house through the roof, killed the woman, and tried to mislead the probe by trying to stage the death as suicide," the officer said.

Scrutiny of CCTV footage and inquiries led to the arrest of Shakir (26), a former delivery boy and boyfriend of the victim. During interrogation, Shakir confessed to killing the woman on suspicion of infidelity, the officer.
