Later in the afternoon, her body was spotted by a passerby near Brar Square.
"Though they shared a strong friendship, Shailja was not in a situation to get married to Handa. They had an altercation in the car over the issue after which he killed her," the official said.
The official said "it seems that Handa slit Shailja's throat suddenly as there was no resistance mark in the car but her clothes were torn which means that she made failed attempts to save herself when she was run over.
"Handa's car has enough evidence against him. There are blood stains on the tyres. There were multiple knives in the car including a Swiss knife which was used in the murder."
Investigators said they began to suspect Handa as there were a huge number of calls exchanged between them -- the maximum of them made by the Major.
"Victim's husband had once caught the two on a video call. He informed us that he didn't want Handa to ever be seen around his wife or family."
On the day of the murder, Handa had called Shailja early in the morning, asking her to meet him.
After the murder, Handa went back to his temporary residence in South Delhi's Saket area, he visited the Base hospital to inquire what was going on and moved on multiple locations in Delhi before fleeing to Meerut.
"Handa kept his phone switched off, didn't maintain any contact with anyone, not even his family members. Even though he kept his phone off, he used the calling feature on WhatsApp in between which helped us to track his location," the official said.
