Controversy

On 15 April 2019, Rohit Shekhar Tiwari returned to his home in Saket, New Delhi at 10 PM from Uttarakhand. He had gone to Uttarakhand along with his mother, sister in law and his employees to cast his vote for the General Elections. Apoorva had made a video call to Rohit earlier that evening and saw that he was drinking in the back seat of the car with his Sister-In-Law. Upon returning, she had a fight with Rohit, questioning his close relations to his Sister-In-Law. Rohit assured her that there was nothing wrong going on and quickly dismissed the argument as he was very drunk and unable to speak and walk properly; he was taking the support of the wall to walk. Apoorva got enraged when Rohit walked away, and she pounced on him. As Rohit was very drunk, he wasn’t able to resist the attack; he was also weak due to his bypass heart surgery which he had undergone a year ago.

Apoorva strangled him with her bare hands and they fell on the bed. She then held a pillow over his face; to silence his screams, and within minutes, Rohit was dead. After he died, Apoorva realized what she had done and she started pacing the room. She cleaned the room and got rid of all the evidence and left the room at 2 AM. The following morning, Rohit’s employee, Golu, went into his room, assumed he was sleeping, and then left. Rohit’s mother kept calling him, but every time Apoorva told her not to disturb Rohit, as was sleeping.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Golu went into Rohit’s room to finally wake him up but discovered that he was bleeding through his nose. He informed Rohit’s mother immediately, and she rushed to his house with an ambulance. They took him to Max Speciality Hospital in Saket, where he was declared brought dead. His body was then sent to AIIMS for postmortem. The doctors discovered that his death was caused by asphyxiation as he was strangled and smothered. A case under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code was registered and the police were called.

They took the statement of Rohit’s mother and Apoorva’s and the body was handed over to them for cremation. The police found irregularities in Apoorva’s statement. She was arrested on 24 April 2019, after which she confessed to her crime.
