FARIDABAD: When an investigation trail led police to Dinesh Dhawan’s house in the last week of January, his wife Anu greeted them. What, she inquired, had brought them to her doorstep? The cops asked about her husband’s whereabouts. She told them work had taken him to Jharkhand for a couple of weeks.
She asked again what was wrong. They had been texting regularly. She showed the cops some of the messages. Surely, if something was wrong, she would know?
On the night of January 11, when Dhawan went to bed, Nitin and his friends were let in by Anu. They allegedly strangled Dhawan and smashed his head with a blunt object.
