The brutal murder of a man by his Tinder match made headlines across the nation in the month of May. Reports then had revealed that a 27-year-old woman along with two of her accomplices murdered the man and dumped his body after stuffing it in a suitcase along the Jaipur-Delhi highway. The man, one 27-year-old Dushyant Sharma fell prey to the accused when he met Priya Seth, the main accused through the dating app ‘Tinder’. The police nabbed and arrested the accused within 10 hours of the deceased’s body being found.

Now, in an interview with Deepika Bhardwaj, an activist and documentary filmmaker, Priya Seth has revealed the chilling details of the abduction and murder of Dushyant Sharma. The 27-year-old, a serial killer revealed in the interview that she killed the man as she needed money and he faked being a rich person.

“He (Dushyant) told me he was very rich and I was living in with Dikshant (the other accused in the case) and he had a debt of 21 lakhs. He was looking for someone to get that money from. So, we made this plan together that we will kidnap someone, ask for ransom and then kill that person,”said Priya in a casual tone.

When she was asked why she killed Dushyant even when his father transferred some money into their account, Priya says in a jiffy: “We killed him even before we got the money.”

Priya then reveals the chilling modus operandi of the murder.

“First Dikshant strangled him. He survived. Then, Lakshya (another accused in the case) smothered him with a pillow. He became unconscious but still didn’t die. Dikshant then asked me to get a knife and slit his throat. He died,” said Priya without a single sign of remorse on her face.

However, Lakshya contradicted her claim and said that she stabbed the deceased first.

Priya Seth is a history-sheeter who has duped several money before killing Dushyant. In the interview also she claimed to run an escort service, through which she used to defraud people as she used to run the service but never provided girls. She also claimed that she duped more than 1000 men using the tactic in six-seven years.

When asked whether she went to dupe another man on the same afternoon she murdered Dushyant, Priya said, “not in the afternoon. I went to the hotel in the evening.”

The accused, in the interview, even went to the extent of saying that by defrauding men through fake escort service, she used to do “social service, which has stopped now” as she never provided girl to these men.

Dushyant Sharma murder case came to light when the police found out his body stuffed inside a suitcase alongside the Delhi-Jaipur highway. As per the details of the case, after abducting Dushyant, the trio called and asked his father for ransom. But, soon after they realised that Dushyant is a small-time businessman and had earlier faked to be a rich man. Dushyant’s father, despite his grim financial state, gave the accused a sum of Rs 3 lakh, only to know later that they had killed his son before they received the money.
