Noida, January 14: Police have arrested a 28-year-old man for the alleged murder of a 27-year-old woman in Greater Noida. The suspect, identified as Ankit, was apprehended on Tuesday, January 13, following an investigation into the victim's death. The police believe the motive was rooted in the victim’s refusal to accept a marriage proposal from the accused.

The incident occurred in the Surajpur area, where the woman’s body was discovered earlier this week. According to police reports, Ankit had been an acquaintance with the victim for several months and had reportedly been pressuring her to marry him. The investigation suggests that the situation escalated into violence when the woman made it clear that she was not interested in a relationship. Greater Noida Shocker: Woman Thrashed, Burnt to Death for Dowry, Husband Arrested; Disturbing Video Surfaces.
