The Delhi Police have arrested a 26-year-old man for allegedly killing his girlfriend and attempting to stage her death as suicide, officials said on Saturday.

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.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
