"Navneet used to suspect Khushboo's character, because of which both used to fight a lot. On September 25, he brought Khushboo to Titoli village and strangled her. He also hit her face and head with a stone to disfigure her. Then, he threw her body in a canal," a Rohtak police spokesperson said. Navneet was produced in the court on Sunday, which sent him to five-day police custody.
