After collecting information from the hotel owner Karanpreet Singh, the body of the woman was sent for post-mortem. It had come to light that the hotel did not take the identity card of the victim at the time of check-in.
In the meantime, the police have sealed the room where the murder took place. They also seized the Aadhar card of Mohammed Alam. The cops are now trying to establish the identity of the victim.
According to Superintendent of Police Rahu Bhati, the murder took place at least 10-12 hours before the discovery of the body. “Police teams have been deployed to search for Mohammed Alam. The postmortem of the body is being done. The accused will be caught soon,” he added.
