Meerut nurse murder: Woman held, main accused on the run
MEERUT, May 23 -- Police have arrested a woman in connection with the murder of 25-year-old nurse Anjali Sharma, whose body was allegedly dumped outside the emergency ward of a medical college in Meerut on Thursday, police said on Friday.
Police identified the arrested accused as Sajida. Investigators said Sajida helped her brother, Sufiyan, 28, a ward attendant at the same hospital, strangle Anjali to death and later transported the body in an e-rickshaw before abandoning it outside the emergency gate of the hospital where the victim herself worked as a nurse.
Police said Sufiyan, a resident of Lisari Gate, remains absconding and multiple teams have been formed to arrest him. According to investigators, Anjali Sharma, a resident of Jagriti Vihar Sector-3 under Medical police station limits, was employed in the women's ward of the medical college.

The victim's family has accused Sufiyan of repeatedly pressuring Anjali to marry him despite knowing that she was already married and the mother of a five-year-old child. Police said Anjali had reportedly been under stress due to the alleged harassment and stalking.
SP (city) Vinayak Gopal Bhosale said: "Preliminary investigation revealed that Anjali had gone to the Lohiya Nagar area on Thursday morning where a confrontation took place between her, Sufiyan, and Sajida. During the altercation, the accused allegedly strangled her to death".

Due to family circumstances, she had reportedly been living with her brother Pradeep for the past year. Police have registered a case on the basis of a complaint lodged by the victim's family. "The main accused will be arrested soon. Multiple teams are conducting raids at different locations," the SP city said....
