UP: Body of missing 2-year-old found in suitcase in neighbour’s house
By IANS
GREATER NOIDA: In a shocking incident, the body of a two-year-old toddler, who was missing for two days now, was on Sunday found stuffed in a suitcase lying in her neighbour’s house in Greater Noida, police said.
The neighbour is absconding.
The incident was reported from Devla village in the Surajpur area.
The victim was one of the two children of Shiv Kumar and his wife who lived in a rented accommodation in Devla. On April 7, Shiv Kumar, who worked in a local factory, was on duty, and his wife stepped out to go to the market, leaving both children at home. When she returned, her daughter was missing. She inquired around the neighbourhood but found no trace of her, and finally approached the police. Police filed a missing complaint and launched a search but it was also fruitless.
On Sunday afternoon, the family noticed a stench from their next-door neighbour’s house, which was locked, and alerted the police. A police team from Surajpur reached the area and searched the house, only to find the body of the missing girl in a suitcase there.
It was found that the house was of a man named Raghavendra, who had also joined the search for the girl after her mother found her missing from home, but had subsequently disappeared.
Police have sent the body of the child for a post-mortem examination and are probing further.

Greater Noida: Woman, lover kill mall worker, mutilate face to fake her own death
By PTI
NOIDA: A young woman teamed up with her lover to allegedly murder a shopping mall worker as part of a plan to fake her own death and then kill her relatives to “avenge” her parents’ suicide, police said Friday.
A body with the face mutilated by boiling oil was found in the accused Payal Bhati’s house in Greater Noida.
A suicide note was found beside the body with Bhati’s signature on it.
The note claimed that her face got disfigured by hot mustard oil following an accident at home, leading her to feel that “the world would not accept her” forcing her to take the extreme step, a police official said.
It was actually the body of the shopping mall worker Hema Chaudhary (28), Additional DCP (Central Noida) Saad Miya Khan said.
Bhati had planned to kill four relatives whom she held responsible for the suicide of both her parents in May, the police said.
“Both the accused, Payal Bhati and her partner Ajay Thakur (27), have been arrested,” Khan told reporters. Chaudhary did not know Bhati or Thakur.
The duo chanced upon her at a shopping mall store and hatched the plan after noticing that she had a physical build similar to that of Bhati, the officer said.
Chaudhary lived in the Surajpur area with her sister, mother and child.
She had gone missing on November 12.
Three days later, her family lodged a missing person’s complaint, prompting a police probe, he said.
“Thakur had befriended Chaudhary on November 12, taken her to Bhati’s home on some pretext where they slit her throat, her wrists and killed her,” the police officer said.
“After that, Bhati poured boiling mustard oil on Chaudhary’s face and mutilated it. She changed the clothes with her own and then left a suicide note stating her own name as its signee,” he said.
The police officer said Bhati had planned to fake her own death and then kill her cousin Sunil, sister-in-law Swati and Swati’s two brothers whom she held responsible for her parents’ suicide.
Bhati’s parents had taken a loan of Rs 5 lakh from Sunil, who constantly nudged them for repayment.
Bhati believed Swati and her two brothers also harassed her parents which impacted peace in their house, according to the police.
SHO of Bisrakh police station Anil Kumar Rajput said an investigation into the missing person’s case lodged by Hema Chaudhary’s parents led them to Thakur who was found to have been in touch with Chaudhary around November 12.
“It was only after this that the whole killing and the conspiracy behind it was unveiled. Both the accused have confessed to the crime,” Rajput said.

Wife, partner among four held for killing man, burning body in Greater Noida
By PTI
NOIDA: A woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Greater Noida has been arrested along with her live-in partner and two other men for allegedly killing her husband and setting the body on fire in a bid to hide evidence, police said on Saturday.
The woman, who had separated from her husband in 2018, had herself called up the emergency number of the police on Thursday morning to inform about the incident, claiming her husband had been set on fire by unidentified persons inside his home, the officials said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Amit Kumar said the episode, which took place at Nilauni Mirzapur village under Rabupura Police Station limits, was planned by the woman, identified as Neha, who had her eyes on her husband Veerpal alias Pappan’s property and money.
“During the investigation, it was found that Veerpal was killed on the night of February 9 itself and the next morning his body was set on fire by accused persons to destroy the evidence,” Kumar said.
“Four people, including the wife of the deceased, her partner Mukesh Kumar and two other men — Bhudev Sharma and Rajkumar — hired by them for the killing, have been arrested. It was a blind murder case that has been solved within 36 hours of its reporting,” the DCP added.
According to officials, the couple had got married in 2008 and had three children — two daughters and a son.
A few years ago Neha got into an illicit relationship with Mukesh Kumar, alias Sonu, who had a clothes’ shop in Dankaur town, with the affair becoming a gossip point in their village and a cause for frequent quarrels between the husband and wife, too, the officials said.
In 2018, Neha and her two children started living with Mukesh in Dankaur town, while one daughter stayed with Veerpal, the officials said.
Besides the house in Nilauni Mirzapur, Veerpal also had a property in Ballabhgarh, Haryana while some of his land near Greater Noida had been acquired by the local Yamuna Expressway Authority for which he was supposed to be getting some money soon, they said.
“Neha, who had started living with Mukesh, had her eye on the property and money of her estranged husband. She had planned the whole episode to get the property and money,” an official said.
The woman had found out that Veerpal would be going out of his house for a family programme on February 9.
She and her associates reached Veerpal’s house around 9 PM and hid in the basement of the building, the official said.
“Veerpal returned home an hour later and went straight to his room. The four reached his room shortly later and overpowered him, stuffed a cloth in his mouth and strangulated him to death,” the official added.
They later dumped a pile of bed sheets, clothes and quilts on the body, sprinkled petrol over it and set it on fire, the police official said, adding all four then quietly left for their houses and the police were alerted about the fire incident the next morning by the woman.
According to officials, Rajkumar, who was hired for the job for Rs 5,000, had brought 5 litres of petrol with him when he reached the village with Bhudev Sharma, who got Rs 50,000 for the job.
The police said an FIR has been lodged at the Rabupura police station and the accused have been remanded in judicial custody.

Proposed UP film city project in Greater Noida gets nod for hybrid model of development
Express News Service
LUCKNOW: A major milestone on the construction of the film city project was achieved on Wednesday as the Uttar Pradesh government put its seal on the detailed project report (DPR) proposal to go for a hybrid model of its development in Greater Noida, said senior government officials.
The model will see the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) hold equity in the project through its contribution of nearly 1,000 acres of land in Sector 21 of Gautam Budh Nagar, while the concessionaire, that will develop and run the Film City, will pay the state government Rs 100 crore-a-year after a 10-year moratorium and offer a share of its revenue to the YEIDA, said the officials.
However, a global tender to hire the agency will soon be floated by YEIDA, said the sources.
The film city is proposed to come up along the 165-km Yamuna Expressway. The project, with an aim to match the international standards of filmmaking, will encourage all phases of film production and offer various amusements to the public.

The official sources said that the DPR suggested three models for the development of the project — one model had the developer giving a certain amount of rent to the state and YEIDA, the second had the developer giving a stake in the project to both the state and YEIDA, while the third had the developer giving a share of its profits to the government annually. Officials said that the government eventually settled for a model incorporating features from all three models.
The UP government, sources said, had suggested that the project be developed in two phases, while the YEIDA will provide all amenities and infrastructure.
According to YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh, the help of an international agency would be taken to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) document to select the company that will develop the project. YEIDA had made a presentation of the DPR to the state government on August 12.
As per the estimates prepared by the consultant, over Rs 6,500 crore will be required to develop the first phase of the ambitious project. The sources said that as per the DPR, film studios in the project would require an investment of Rs 1,513 crore, retail mall Rs 989 crore, the film institute Rs 914 crore, infrastructure development Rs 842 crore, hotels & restaurants will require Rs 532 crore, amusement park Rs 378 crore, residential enclave Rs 307 crore, office space Rs 277 crore, among others.
According to officials, the DPR has suggested an amusement park spread over 120 acres, commercial development on 40 acres, 34 acres should be earmarked for retail space, 21 acres for five-star hotels, 740 acres for film facilities, 40 acres for residential usage of people engaged in film productions and 40 acres for setting up film institutions.
In fact, CBRE, a firm, was hired as a consultant to prepare the DPR by YEIDA in January this year.
