Delhi police have opened an investigation after a resident was reported to have killed his roommate and stayed next to the dead body for twelve hours. The incident, reported by Amar Ujala, occurred in a shared flat in the national capital.
According to the report, the suspect allegedly committed the homicide and then slept in the same room, lying beside the corpse for half a day before the body was discovered.
Authorities were alerted after the situation came to light, and the accused has been taken into custody for further questioning. The case is being treated as a homicide, and investigators are gathering forensic evidence to determine the motive and circumstances surrounding the murder.
