Ghaziabad Facebook friendship ends in fatal brick attack

The victim, identified as Pinky, resided in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. She had befriended the accused, Pintu, on Facebook four to five months ago. They maintained regular contact over the phone.

Pintu visited Pinky in the Indrapuri Chowki area under the Loni Border police station limits. An argument suddenly broke out between them during their meeting on Monday, November 9.

In a fit of rage, Pintu grabbed a nearby brick and struck Pinky directly on her head. The severe head injuries killed her on the spot, according to official reports.

Authorities received news of the murder shortly after the incident occurred. Officers from the Loni Border police station and senior police officials immediately rushed to inspect the crime scene.

Police completed the preliminary inquest proceedings at the location. They subsequently sent Pinky’s body to a nearby hospital for a detailed post-mortem examination to confirm the exact cause.

Investigators swiftly detained Pintu following the attack. Officers are currently questioning the accused in police custody as part of their ongoing legal proceedings and formal criminal investigation.

This tragic crime marks another serious homicide in the Ghaziabad region in recent weeks. Authorities continue to process the scene to gather further evidence regarding the fatal altercation.

A similar violent incident rocked Ghaziabad last month on October 12. Investigators discovered a tailor shot dead inside his rented accommodation under suspicious circumstances during that earlier case.

In that previous investigation, police implicated the victim’s wife and her cousin. Authorities revealed that the pair shared a secret relationship and conspired together to murder the husband.
