He smashed her head with a baseball bat, clubbed her to death and fled the scene, the police said. Shekhar has reportedly confessed to the crime and said she had betrayed him. ''I returned the love letters that Divya wrote to me, but she did not return the letters which I wrote to her,'' police quoted Shekhar as saying.''She used to taunt me as drugaddict and a mad fellow ever since she started seeing Pradeep. So, I killed her,'' police quoted Shekhar as saying.
