Grandsons, pals rob granny of 9Lakh for girlfriends; 3 held

June 17, 2012

New Delhi, June 17: Love can move heaven and earth, as the saying goes; but two teenagers have proved that it can also make you rob your own family. On May 19, two teenagers, along with their accomplices, planned and robbed their grandmother after they came to know about a Rs 30 lakh payment she had received in a property deal.

The juveniles, whose parents work as traders, took the step as they wanted to splurge the money on their girlfriends. With the apprehension of two juveniles and the arrest of an accomplice, the crime branch claims to have solved the case. Two of the accused, including one of the grandsons, are still absconding, police said.

"The grandsons of complainant Malkiyat Kaur had come to know about a Rs 30 lakh payment that their grandmother had received from a local property deal. The juveniles disclosed this information to their friends - Gurpreet Singh, Saurabh Nagia and a third associate -living in their locality. Malkiyat's grandsons (her daughter's son and her son's kin) then hatched a conspiracy to loot the amount as they wanted to splurge on their girlfriends and live a lavish lifestyle,'' said Bhism Singh, additional DCP (crime).

The incident took place at Rani Bagh area of northwest Delhi. According to sources, the juvenile grandsons opened the lock of the door on May 19 and gave a free passage to their associates. Besides Malkiyat, her daughter Jasbir too was present in the house on that day. While the juveniles left home after that, their accomplices threatened and tied up the two women with a piece of cloth and looted around Rs 9 lakh from them at gunpoint.

Later, the accomplices distributed the booty among themselves and did not give a penny to the juveniles. "The accused bought four gold rings from the looted money and Rs. 62,000 cash has been recovered from them. Efforts are on to apprehend the absconding associates and recover the remaining money,'' said Sanjay Jain, DCP (crime).

The incident took place in Rani Bagh. The boys opened the lock and gave a free passage to their associates.

UP: Woman inflicts 101 cuts on sister-in-law in exorcism

January 9,2020

Bareilly, Jan 9: In a bizarre development, a woman has been arrested for inflicting 101 cuts on her sister-in-law in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district, the police said on Thursday.

The woman was practicing exorcism to cure her father who had been ailing for some time.

The woman, Moni, was helped by her husband Mooli and brother Raju in the act, which happened on Tuesday.

The sister-in-law Renu who suffered the cuts, was given 300 stitches on her face and other parts of the body by the doctors.

Renu has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where her condition is said to be serious.

Moni, 30, has been sent to jail while Mooli and Raju are absconding.

Baradari police station officer inspector Naresh Tyagi said that a complaint had been filed by Renu's brother under section 307 (attempt to murder) of IPC.

"We will record Renu's statements in a day or two once she is stable and in a condition to talk to us. We have sent Moni to jail," the inspector said.

Renu, a resident of Ganghora village in Bareilly, was married to Sanjeev around eight years ago.

Her father-in-law, Jagdish, fell ill a few months ago.

"Accused Moni, who practices exorcism, decided to cure her father by initiating the act. Going by superstitious beliefs, they inflicted as many as 101 cuts on Renu's face and body. It cannot be ruled out that they wanted to sacrifice her to complete the act," police inspector said.

On Tuesday night, the accused had locked Renu's husband and mother-in-law in another room when they tried to stop them from making her a scapegoat.

When the accused trio started inflicting cuts on Renu, she struggled to get out of their clutches and somehow managed to escape from the house.

She had run a short distance when she collapsed and became unconscious. A police constable on patrol reportedly spotted her and she was taken to a district hospital. Once regaining her consciousness, she narrated her ordeal to the police who then informed her parents.
