  • 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.

    NOIDA: A Bangladeshi origin man staying illegally in India was arrested on Sunday for allegedly strangulating one of his wives in Noida over suspicion of her illicit relationship, police said.

    According to police, the accused, around 40, had also procured an Indian passport and two Aadhaar cards using residential addresses in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.

    The deceased was the third wife of accused Babul Miyan, with the first two being in Bangladesh and West Bengal’s Cooch Behar district, where he had first stayed after crossing into India around a decade ago.

    “Babul Miyan worked as a daily wage worker and his wife Fatima Bibi had a relationship with a local construction work contractor.

    On August 4, when Babul returned from a trip to Bengal, he found Fatima and contractor Sajid at his home in Sarfabad,” a police spokesperson said.

    “Later, he confronted Fatima inside Sajid’s home and an argument ensued.

    He pulled his wife to the bed and strangulated her to death with a ‘chunni’ she was wearing and fled the spot,” the police official said.

    After the incident, the accused ran away to Rajasthan and from there he took a train to go to West Bengal and wanted to escape further to Bangladesh but did not get a visa, the police said.

    “He returned to Noida on September 10.

    He was staying in a rented accommodation in Gejha village here.

    He was arrested on Sunday near the Sector 52 metro station on the basis of a tip-off,” the spokesperson said.

    The local Sector 49 police station team also recovered an Indian passport, two Aadhaar cards, besides a debit card of Punjab National Bank (PNB) from the accused, the official said.

    An FIR has been lodged against him and further legal proceedings are underway, the police added.

    NOIDA: The Uttar Pradesh Police has arrested a man, who was believed to be dead, for allegedly killing his wife and two children three years ago and then burying their bodies in the basement of his house in Greater Noida, officials said on Thursday.

    The skeletal remains were exhumed from the site late Wednesday night by teams of the Greater Noida police and the Kasganj police, and have been sent for forensic examination, they said.

    Thirty-four-year-old Rakesh is also accused of killing a friend of his in Kasganj, two months after killing his family members in Greater Noida, the officials said.

    Rakesh placed his identity cards on his friend’s body to lead investigators into believing that he had been killed, they said.

    In February 2018, a man lodged a “missing” persons complaint at the Bisrakh police station in Greater Noida.

    He claimed that his 27-year-old daughter and her two grandchildren, aged three and one, had been kidnapped by his son-in-law Rakesh, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP), Central Noida, Ankur Aggarwal said.

    On the basis of the complaint, a case was registered and investigation initiated, the official said.

    “Two months later, an FIR was registered at the Dholna police station in Kasganj district about the murder of Rakesh,” Aggarwal said.

    In the course of investigation of the murder case, the Kasganj police on Wednesday reached Bisrakh and informed their counterparts that Rakesh was alive and had been apprehended, he said.

    “The Kasganj police also informed us that Rakesh, who was accused of kidnapping his wife and two children, had told them that he had killed his family members and buried their bodies at their house in Bisrakh in Greater Noida,” Aggarwal said.

    The basement of Rakesh’s house in Bisrakh was searched and some skeletal remains were exhumed on Wednesday in the presence of Greater Noida and Kasganj police teams, he said.

    “These remains have been sent to forensic experts so that identities can be ascertained and on the basis of that modifications will be made in the FIR that was lodged here in 2018,” ADCP said.

    Rakesh has been arrested by the Kasganj police, the officials said, adding that further investigation and legal proceedings in the case are being carried out.
