Police said Singh had travelled from Gurugram and dropped a passenger at Sangam Vihar. He allegedly remained in the area for around two-and-a-half hours, cancelled two ride requests and later returned to the location where the girl was sleeping with her family on a footpath.

The police have alleged that Singh then abducted the girl and took her to a forested area, where her body was later recovered.

Investigators said Singh’s driving licence was recovered near the spot where the body was allegedly concealed. According to police, the accused had placed three large rocks over the body in an attempt to conceal it.

The investigation includes photographs documenting key stages of the probe, including the accused’s car, the girl sleeping with her family, the route allegedly followed by Singh and the location where the body was recovered.

Photographs captured by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras have also been included in the investigation records. Police said timestamped images, CCTV footage and route reconstruction were analysed to track the accused’s movements.

The reconstructed route was also compared with CCTV footage and Singh’s statement to investigators to verify his account against the evidence collected during the investigation, officials said.

Further proceedings in the case will take place before the court. (ANI)
