NEW DELHI: A woman along with her paramour allegedly killed her brother and then roped in her father to hush up the murder.
The accused Rekha (28) and Anil (26) allegedly murdered 25-year-old Sanjit and then tried to pass it off as a natural death. Sanjit's 52-year-old father Sher Singh then connived with them to hush up the matter, police said. The trio would even have escaped had it not been for the timely intervention of a crematorium in charge, who noticed strangulation marks on Sanjit's neck and helped police in identifying foul play. This led to their arrest.
According to police, the chain of events centred around the deceased's sister, Rekha, who was part of a love triangle. Rekha fell in love with two men, including Anil, who had originally been hired by her husband to kill her, cops said.
DCP (south) HGS Dhaliwal said, "Rekha conspired with Anil to eliminate her brother Sanjit, who was a drunkard, as he was supposed to receive some amount after the sale of ancestral property. Rekha wanted all the money and decided to get rid of him." She also allegedly planned to kill her husband who had filed for divorce, cops said.
Sanjit's murder came to light after Deepak Sharma, in charge of Ambedkar Nagar crematorium, found strangulation marks on the neck when his body was brought to the facility on January 14.
When the body was kept on the pyre, Sharma noticed injury marks on the neck. Family members' insistence on the cremation made him suspicious and he decided to call the police," said a senior police officer.
ACP Hauz Khas Mehar Singh said, "In the postmortem cause of death was found to be asphyxia due to strangulation."
Sanjit had got some money after selling property, which caused a dispute in the family, cops said. He got the share of his ancestral land and was expecting about Rs 7.5 lakh. Investigation revealed that Rekha used to meet a few Faridabad-based youths with criminal background.
Rekha, who was married in 2002 and has three children, had a love affair with Vinod, Anil's younger brother. According to cops, Anil was hired by Samuandar to allegedly kill Rekha. But in a true theatrical twist, Anil reportedly fell in love with her and hatched a plan to kill Sanjit and Samuandar, police said.
On January 13, Rekha asked Anil to come to her house as her other brother Rakesh and father were not there. "Anil and Sanjit consumed alcohol. After Sanjit went to sleep, Anil and Rekha strangulated him," said DCP Dhaliwal.
Rekha's father, Sher Singh, found Sanjit dead the next morning. "Rekha had promised to give Anil Rs 2 lakh if everything went smoothly and the money got transferred in the name of her father," said DCP Dhaliwal. Singh aroused suspicion as he disappeared after being called for questioning.
