  • Pregnant woman strangulated to death at home in Uttar Pradesh; Rs 2 lakh cash, ornaments missing

    By PTI

    GHAZIABAD: The body of a pregnant woman was found in the bathroom of her house here, police said on Friday, adding that she had been strangulated to death using a wire.

    While the woman’s husband alleged that cash and ornaments had been missing from the house and that she was killed during the robbery bid, her parents alleged that their daughter had been killed by her husband.

    Victim Santoshi used to live with her husband Santhosh Kumar and mother-in-law Padmavati at an apartment in DLF Colony under Shahabad police station limits.

    Some construction labourers, working in the same building, used to frequent their house seeking drinking water.

    Prima facie, it appears to be a killing due to robbery because the wardrobe in the house was broken, City Superintendent of Police (second) Gyanendra Singh said.

    In his statement to the police, Kumar said some people arrived at their apartment on Thursday evening on the pretext of seeking drinking water.

    He said they pushed his 70-year-old mother aside, dragged his wife to the bedroom and latched the door from inside.

    After killing her, they fled away with Rs 2 lakh cash and ornaments worth over Rs 3 lakh, he alleged.

    Senior Superintendent of Police Muni Raj G, who visited the apartment on Thursday night, formed two teams to investigate the case.

    Santoshi’s parents, who arrived at the apartment on Friday, alleged that Kumar had killed their daughter and later concocted the story of robbery.

    Police said they are investigating the case from various angles.

    SP Gyanendra Singh said an FIR has been registered against unknown people.

  • Lawyer ‘shot dead’ in Shahjahanpur court: Priyanka Gandhi says no one safe in Uttar Pradesh

    By PTI

    Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday attacked the Yogi Adityanath government over a lawyer being shot dead allegedly by another on the Shahjahanpur district court premises and said the incident was another chilling reminder that no one is safe in today’s Uttar Pradesh.

    The lawyer was shot dead on Monday afternoon over an old rivalry, following which four police personnel were suspended for negligence, police said.

    The victim, Bhupendra Singh (58), had filed two dozen cases against Suresh Gupta.

    Upset over this, Gupta allegedly killed him, they said.

    “The legal and judicial fraternity is an integral pillar of our democracy. The brutal murder of an advocate in broad daylight in court premises in Shahjahanpur is another chilling reminder that no one is safe in today’s Uttar Pradesh – not women, not farmers and now not advocates,” Priyanka Gandhi tweeted.

    In a Facebook post in Hindi, she attacked Adityanath, saying the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh used to claim that goons and miscreants have fled the state and here, they are entering a court and killing a lawyer.

    “The Shahjahanpur incident once again established that no common man is safe under the BJP rule and the government is busy propagating lies instead of improving law and order,” the Congress general secretary said.

    Advocate Singh of Jalalabad tehsil had gone to the third-floor office of ACJM-I of the district court in the afternoon to meet a clerk in connection with some case when a gunshot was heard and he was found dead.

    Quoting the clerk Singh had gone to meet, Superintendent of Police (SP) S Anand had earlier said that an illegal 315 bore pistol was found near the body.

    A case of murder was registered against advocate Suresh Kumar Gupta and his two sons Gaurav Gupta and Ankit Gupta.

    The accused advocate has been arrested, the police said.

    Advocates in the district had launched an indefinite strike, demanding the killer’s immediate arrest.

  • Man held for killing five of his family within 20 years to grab ancestral land in Uttar Pradesh

    By PTI

    GHAZIABAD: Ghaziabad police are searching for the body of a young boy, who was allegedly abducted and killed by his uncle over a property dispute, officials said.

    On August 15, Brijesh Tyagi had lodged a complaint that his son Reshu could not be traced for a week.

    A week later on August 22, an FIR was lodged by him that his son was kidnapped 14 days ago by some close relatives due to an old property dispute.

    Relying on circumstantial evidence and electronic surveillance, police teams arrested Leelu (Tyagi’s younger brother) of Basantpur village in Muradnagar, Rahul of Sambhal district and Surendra of Hapur district on Thursday from Muradnagar, Superintendent of Police (Rural) Iraj Raja said.

    During interrogation, the prime accused confessed to abducting and killing Reshu and thereafter throwing his body in a canal near Bulandshahar with the help of his accomplices Surendra, Vikrant, Mukesh and Rahul.

    “Twenty years ago in 2001, I had killed my elder brother Sudhir Tyagi and a few months later killed his eight-year-old daughter Payal by serving her poison. After three years, I killed his elder daughter Parul (16) and threw her body in Hindon river. Eight years ago, I killed my elder brother Brijesh’s son Nishu and threw his body in Hindon river,” Leelu told the police.

    All the family members were killed by Leelu (45) for ancestral land so that nobody could claim his share of the property.

    The prime accused wanted to grab the whole land worth Rs 5 crore.

    Now, police are trying to recover the body of Reshu from a canal near Bulandshahr district.

    Police have obtained some audio recordings and would produce it in the court during prosecution, the SP said.

    Family members have also been accused of trying to dispose of the body by throwing it from over the Patanwa bridge on the Deoria-Kasya here but it got stuck in its railing and was spotted by police later.
