There she met sub-inspector Rajender Sharma and then Shazia became a frequent visitor to the police station.
Sources said the two allegedly had an illicit affair and met often.
However, the things went from bad to worse and Shazia suddenly went missing. Her family lodged a missing complaint at the same police station on October 7.
A week later the police found Shazia's burnt body in Rajasthan.
Shazia's family approached senior police officials and demanded a thorough probe into the matter. The case was handed over to the special cell, which found that the murdered student had an alleged affair with sub-inspector Sharma.
Special cell sleuths, on Wednesday, arrested the wife, son and nephew of the sub-inspector in connection with the case. Highly-placed sources in the special investigating unit of Delhi Police told MiD DAY that during the course of investigation it was found that Sharma's family found out that he was going along with a girl. Enraged over the fling, Sharma's wife and her relatives conspired to eliminate Shazia and took the student of Bihar to Rajasthan on a yet to be disclosed pretext.
They first murdered her in the desert state and then burnt her body to damage the body so that it could not be identified.
"While investigating the case our informers told us that they had last seen Shazia with Sharma's son Lalit and their nephew Narendra. Lalit broke down on persistent questioning and disclosed that he along with his mother Rajrani and Narendra had kidnapped Shazia and later murdered her in Rajasthan. Lalit told the police that Shazia had been blackmailing his father," said a police official, requesting anonymity.u00a0u00a0u00a0u00a0

Meanwhile, Sharma has been transferred to the security wing of the Delhi Police.
