Body of missing Delhi woman found in canal tied to a rock, friend arrested

A woman was strangled, and her body was dumped in a canal after being tied to a rock by her friend in Delhi. The body of the woman, named Komal, was found in the Chhawla canal on March 17, five days since she went missing.

A police investigation has revealed that Komal, a resident of Sundar Nagri in north-east Delhi's Seemapuri, was murdered by Asif, a close acquaintance.

Asif, a taxi driver, had picked her up in his car from the Seemapuri area on March 12. However, a heated argument broke out between them during the journey. Asif then strangled Komal to death and dumped her body in the Chhawla canal after tying it to a rock so that it didn't float.
