Shimla:
The IIT-Roorkee student who accompanied the Patna girl found murdered at hotel in Shimla has confessed to killing her.

Shimla Superintendent of Police R M Sharma said Gaurav Verma, a third year student at IIT Roorkee, checked into the hotel along with a girl around 3 am. They had come from Delhi in a taxi.
When the two did not come out of room during the day, the hotel staff got suspicious and found the room locked from outside. The room was opened in the presence of the police and the girl found murdered while the boy was missing.
