Meanwhile, a police team is looking for a labourer who is suspected to have helped Khatri dump Arzoo's body. Police have also questioned Khatri's father, Rajkumar, who had disappeared by the time the incident came to light and returned on Monday night, the official said.
The incident came to light on Sunday when Arzoo's body was found in a ventilation shaft in Khatri's residence in Gurmandi locality of Model Town.
