Unemployed man strangles partner, sleeps beside corpse

In Bhopal, Sachin Rajput (32) allegedly strangled his live-in partner Ritika Sen (29) during an argument sparked by suspicion of infidelity.
After the murder on June 27, he wrapped her body in a blanket and stayed beside it for two days before finally admitting what he'd done.

TL;DR

Rajput confessed to a friend

Rajput confessed to a friend while under the influence of alcohol on June 30.
The friend informed police after Sachin repeated the confession the next day, who found Sen's body at their rented flat in Gayatri Nagar.
Rajput—unemployed and reportedly struggling with alcohol addiction—had lived with Sen for over three years.
He's now in custody as police investigate further; a post-mortem report is awaited.
