New Delhi, Sep 21 Manpreet, who worked at a garment store in Uttarakhand's Kashipur, was murdered by her live-in partner. According to a report in Times of India, 26- year-old Nafees Ahmed, a truck driver from Maniyawala in Bijnor, confessed to the cold-blooded murder after he was detained for questioning. Manpreet got married to businessman Sukhveer Singh, 29, eight years ago. They had a daughter, who is now five, three years later. Two years after her daughter's birth, Manpreet fell in love with Nafees and moved in with him three years back. After the accident, the police approached Sukhveer Singh who identified the victim's body. Sukhveer told the police that Manpreet wanted Nafees to marry her but Nafees was reluctant. Sukhveer filed a complaint, naming Nafees as an accused. Nafees was then booked for murder and causing disappearance of evidence. “When they reached a desolate stretch, he hit her on the head with an iron rod. When she lost consciousness, he placed her on the road and ran his truck over her body and then her head," Bijnor SP Dharamveer Singh said.
