ROORKEE: A 23-year-old man allegedly killed his 22-year-old girlfriend in a hotel in Roorkee late on Thursday evening and was caught while trying to escape with her body in a suitcase.

Hotel staff said that while the man had carried the suitcase with ease while checking in at the hotel earlier, he was lugging it while leaving. As his wobbly walk raised suspicion, hotel staff checked the suitcase and found the body of the woman who had accompanied the man hours earlier to his room stuffed in it.

The man has been identified as Gulzeb Hussain Ansari, a resident of Jwalapur, Haridwar. He runs a cosmetic shop near his house. The woman, his girlfriend, was identified as Ramsa Ansari, a resident of Manglaur near Roorkee.

The woman, the daughter of a labourer, was a first-generation learner and the first from her family to have completed graduation. “We had high hopes for her. She was the eldest of four siblings. She had finished her BCom and was looking for a job,” said her uncle Mohammad Yunus Ansari.

The girl’s family said they were in deep shock as the accused happens to be a relative. They said they never imagined he would commit such a crime. On a complaint by the girl’s father, Mohammad Rashid Ansari, an FIR has been lodged against the man on charges of murder (section 302 of IPC). SP (rural) Pramendra Singh Dobal said, “After receiving a call from the hotel, our team rushed to the crime spot and questioned the accused at length. He confessed he had been in a relationship with the girl for some time but her family had refused to let her marry him. He said he wanted to ‘teach her a lesson’.”
