A 25-year-old woman was strangled to death by her boyfriend following an argument over marriage in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut on Thursday. The accused later called the police himself and informed them that he had killed her. Samreen, the victim, was employed at a contact center and had a long-standing connection with Firoz, the accused.
Preliminary reports state that Samreen's younger brother dropped her off to the call center in the morning. She then traveled with Firoz to the Shatabdi Nagar forest region of Meerut, where they got into a fight over marriage. Samreen had been pressuring Firoz to marry her, leading to tensions that escalated into a confrontation, during which he strangled her.
Following the incident, Firoz called the police, telling them that he had killed Samreen and where the crime had been committed. When a Meerut Police team arrived, they arrested him. Additionally, his motorcycle was found at the location.
