Police arrested Udyan Das from near his home in Saket Nagar late in the night. They broke the concrete structure and recovered the body after he confessed to the crime. He killed Akanksha Sharma, alias Shweta , on December 27, police said.

The murder came to light when a team of West Bengal Police came to Bhopal looking for Sharma , whose parents lodged a complaint in December.

“Uday has confessed his crime but he is changing his statements. We are trying to verify the facts and get answers to many unanswered questions,” sub-inspector Ramesh Rai said on Friday.

Das told police they fought often as Sharma used to talk to her ex-boyfriend. On December 27, they again had an argument and he strangled her.

He stuffed the body in a wooden box and poured cement on it. Das waited for the cement to dry up before building a concrete platform and fixing marble tiles over it.

According to police, Sharma , a resident of Bankura in West Bengal, met Das on a social media site in 2007 and left her home in June last, telling her parents she had got a job in New York.

But, she came to Bhopal and started living with Das, who owns two luxury cars. Police are investigating the source of Das’s income as he doesn’t have a job but maintains a lavish lifestyle.

For a month, the woman remained in touch with her family, telling them she was in New York.

But after July, her family didn’t hear from her. Her parents lodged a police complaint while her brother traced the location of his sister’s cellphone to Bhopal, police said.

Das was evasive about his relationship with Sharma . He told police they got married in New York but changed the statement later to say the ceremony was held in a local temple.

Das told police his father used to work for BHEL and his mother retired as a deputy superintendent of police. He also claimed to be an IIT-Delhi passout. But, police are cross-checking his claims as he changed statements repeatedly.

Some neighbours told police that Das had locked his house and used to enter it through a window.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.
