Sangeeta alias Divya had gone missing on May 11, and her family living in Delhi's Jaffarpur Kalan area reported it on May 14, they said.

The police said a case was initially registered under Section 365 (kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine person) of IPC at JP Kalan police station in New Delhi.

During investigation, two people, Ravi and Anil, were arrested in Meham on Saturday who disclosed that they had hatched a conspiracy to kill the singer, a senior police officer said.

The body was subsequently found on Sunday, and murder charges were added to the case, he said.

The police said preliminary investigation revealed that the incident took place over strained relationship with the accused.

The accused had contacted the singer on the pretext of making a music video.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Commission for Women has issued a notice to Delhi police in connection with the incident.
