In a noteworthy development, Delhi Police have apprehended Narottam Prasad, wanted for the 2008 murder of his wife, which he attempted to portray as a suicide. The suspect was located in Gujarat and transported back to Delhi, where legal proceedings are set to commence shortly.
The tragic incident took place on May 31, 2010, when authorities unearthed the decomposed remains of a 25-year-old woman in her home in Jahangirpuri. Initial investigations were misled by a suicide note found at the scene, which suggested the death was by self-harm. Nevertheless, suspicions lingered around the husband, Narottam Prasad, who absconded and was declared a proclaimed offender. A reward of Rs 10,000 was issued for information regarding his whereabouts.
After years of elusiveness, police received a lead in 2025 that directed them to Vadodara in Gujarat. Acting promptly, the Delhi Police traced Prasad to the Chhota Udaipur area, where he had been living undetected while employed as a manager at a cotton factory.
Upon interrogation, Prasad admitted that marital discord had intensified shortly after their nuptials. In a fit of anger, he killed his wife and fabricated a suicide note to mislead the authorities.
This arrest brings closure to one of the city’s most enduring cold cases, showcasing the perseverance of law enforcement in seeking justice despite the passage of time. Officials have reiterated that Prasad will now face comprehensive legal actions as mandated by the law.
The case further underscores the significance of thorough investigation and the commitment of police in resolving long-stalled criminal matters.
