New Delhi:
It had all the ingredients of a Bollywood thriller - a sister and her paramour killing brother for money, a crematorium in-charge informing police about the murder after finding strangulation marks on a body and the woman falling in love with two men, including one who is hired to kill her.
But the story reached its climax after Delhi Police arrested the 27-year-old woman and her paramour for allegedly killing her brother for money, while her father landed in police net for concealing the murder as natural death.
The arrested have been identified as Rekha, her paramour Anil (26) and her father Sher Singh (52), a suspended Class IV employee in HRD Ministry, DCP (South) H G S Dhaliwal said.
"Rekha conspired with Anil to eliminate her drunkard brother, Sanjit, who was supposed to receive a good amount after sale of his ancestral property. Rekha was having an eye on his money and wanted to get rid of him," Dhaliwal said.
The murder of Sanjit came to light after Deepak Sharma, in-charge of Ambedkar Nagar crematorium, found strangulation marks on his neck when his body was brought to the facility on January 14. Sanjit was a resident of Pushp Vihar.
"When the body was kept on pyre, Sharma observed some suspicious injury marks on the neck of the deceased. He disclosed these facts to the family members who did not answer and insisted upon the cremation. He got suspicious and called the PCR," Dhaliwal said.
Following this, police examined the room where Sanjit was found dead. "The scene was photographed and a crime team visited the scene. The bed on which the deceased used to sleep was found to be broken. The post-mortem ascertained that it was a case of asphyxia due to strangulation," he said.
Investigations revealed Sanjit was into heavy drinking and that he had got some share of land from his aunt. "We also found that he got some money after sale of the property which turned to be the cause of dispute in the family. He also got share of his ancestral land and was expecting around Rs 7.5 lakh," he said.
A special team was also sent to Haryana's Faridabad from where the family belonged. Teams were also sent to the villages where Sanjit's brother and sister were married.
During investigations, Dhaliwal claimed, it came to light that Rekha used to meet a few Faridabad-based youths with criminal background.
Rekha and Anil was picked up from Khanpur Chowk yesterday for questioning when they came there. Singh came under the lens after he disappeared for two to three days when police called him for questioning.
Rekha had been married to Samuandar, a Faridabad resident in 2002, and has three children. She separated from him last year and started living at his father's house after filing a divorce case.
