Accused of killing live-in partner faced domestic violence charge by wife

Bhopal: Sachin Rajput, accused of killing his live-in partner, a 29-year-old woman, over a dispute related to her conversations with her boss, was placed in custody. During police interrogation, Sachin broke down and claimed that the incident was an accident rather than a premeditated act. Police reported that Sachin allegedly discovered some WhatsApp chats, leading to a confrontation. When he questioned her, the deceased reportedly began arguing. The situation escalated into a physical altercation during which Sachin grabbed her neck. He claimed she fell unconscious shortly after and collapsed on the bed when he released her. At that moment, Sachin received a call from his friend regarding an urgent matter. Believing the woman had only fainted, he sprinkled water on her but received no response. Assuming she would regain consciousness soon, he left for his friend's place, where he spent the night. When Sachin returned the next morning, the woman remained in the same position on the bed, and the door was exactly as he had left it. Realising the gravity of the situation, he panicked, wrapped her body in plastic sacks and blankets, and left the house. He then spent the following day wandering and contemplating his next steps. On Sunday, after confiding in a friend named Anuj, he decided to surrender to the police. Police stated that Sachin hailed from a well-off family in Sironj and previously operated an e-vehicle showroom in Bhopal. The deceased worked there as a receptionist, and the two began a relationship in 2022. Shockingly, Sachin had already married another woman in 2023 in a love marriage. His wife later filed a domestic violence complaint against him, leading to strained relations. The couple eventually filed for divorce, and the case remains pending in court. After experiencing a loss in his business, Sachin started a new job. He also discussed marriage plans with the deceased's parents, and the couple began living together. The woman was employed as a saleswoman at an agri-products company in Bhanpur. The murder reportedly resulted from an argument about her conversations with her employer. Bajaria police produced Sachin in court on Tuesday and secured a one-day police remand for further questioning.
