Police said in a statement that Sharma was previously married to one Deepak Yadav but got separated around four years back. After that, she started living in a live-in relationship with Firoz in her flat located in Tulsi Niketan. Sharma was pressurising Firoz to get married, but he was reportedly not ready. The couple had frequent arguments over the issue.
On August 7, the argument between the couple went out of hand, and as it escalated, Preeti attacked Firoz with a razor and slit his throat. Preeti hid the dead body in the flat for the night. On Sunday morning, she went to Seelampur in Delhi to buy a big trolley bag. She tied the dead body of Firoz with a thin plastic rope and stuffed it in the trolley bag.
Police added that around 2 PM on Sunday, she took the bag towards Ghaziabad Railway Station with an alleged plan to dispose of the bag on a train. However, the Police patrolling close to Tulsi Niketan spotted her and questioned her over suspicion. When they opened the bag, there was a dead body inside. Bhuvnesh Kumar, Tola Mor Police Station in-charge, said the woman was arrested, and further investigation is underway.
