Haryana/IBNS: A horrific murder was reported from Haryana's Gumad Village where a woman working in Canada returned to India last year to be with her boyfriend and was shot dead before getting buried in his field.

The victim was reported missing in June last year by her aunt.

Her skeletal remains were only found by the Bhiwani CIA on Tuesday.

The accused-Sunil has confessed to kidnapping and murdering her.

According to the police, he confessed to kidnapping 23-year-old Neelam and killing her in June last year.

He shot her twice in the head and then buried her body in his field to destroy the evidence, said CIA Bhiwani in-charge Ravindra said.

Neelam's sister Roshni had registered a complaint with Gannaur Police in June.

She said that her sister from Baland village in Rohtak had cleared her IELTS exam and moved to Canada to work.

In January last year, Sunil lured her back to India to marry her following which he kidnapped and killed her, police said.

Neelam's family in the village found no trace of her since her expected return and then discovered even Sunil had also gone missing on the same day.

While the police registered a case of kidnapping, no action was allegedly taken after the complaint.

After searching for Neelam on their own led to nowhere, the family met with Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij to push for action.

The case was then transferred to the CIA in Bhiwani who eventually arrested Sunil.

Based on Sunil's confession in police custody, the authorities dug out Neelam's skeletal remains from a 10-foot deep in his field on Garhi Road.

The remains have been sent for postmortem to Sonipat Civil Hospital where they will also conduct a DNA test on her mother.
