A property dispute allegedly led to the murder of Delhi University assistant professor Debosmita Paul, police said. The accused couple, tenants at her ancestral property in West Bengal, allegedly travelled 1,400 km to Delhi and killed her after she opposed the property's sale. CCTV footage, travel records and surveillance helped investigators track the family and crack the case.
What initially appeared to be a mysterious murder inside a Delhi apartment has now been traced to a bitter property dispute that allegedly culminated in a meticulously planned killing. Police say a couple from West Bengal travelled nearly 1,400 kilometres to Delhi and murdered a Delhi University assistant professor who stood in the way of a proposed sale of her ancestral home.
Property Dispute At The Heart Of The Murder
Debosmita Paul, a 45-year-old assistant professor at Shivaji College, was found dead in her sixth-floor apartment in East Delhi's Vasundhara Enclave on June 4. Investigators found her with slit wrists and severe injuries to her head and face.
According to police, the motive behind the murder lay in a long-running dispute over Paul's ancestral property in Burdwan, West Bengal. The accused couple, Ramprashad Das and Banashree Das, had been living in the house as tenants since 2023.
