September 29, 2016

The three were arrested by police during a routine check by the Palam Vihar crime unit near the Industrial Model Township (IMT) in Manesar on Sunday. Two country-made pistols and cartridges, apart from a Renault Kwid, were recovered from them.

The bullet-riddled bodies of the deceased – 40-year-old Sunita and her 15-year-old daughter – were found in a vacant plot of land near the IMT on September 19.

Sumit had been living with his mother and sister – a Class 9 student – at Prem Nagar in Najafgarh. “The suspect said he killed his mother and sister because he believed they were involved in prostitution. He felt he was being socially ostracised due to this,” said deputy commissioner of police (crime) Sumit Kuhar.

The suspect was allegedly aided by his friends – Dharambir (28) and Pradeep (18) – in committing the murders.

Dharambir’s father, Satya Narayan, a head constable with the Delhi police, reportedly helped solve the case.

During an interrogation, Sumit told police that Sunita was also responsible for poisoning his father, Jai Prakash, in 2000. However, there was no case lodged at the time to back his claim.

Kuhar said the trio took the two victims to Manesar in Dharambir’s car on the pretext of making a trip to Khatu Shyam temple in Sikar, Rajasthan, on September 18. Once there, they strangled Sunita and her daughter with a dupatta before shooting them. “It was a planned murder. The trio dumped the bodies in Manesar, thinking that police will not be able to trace them to Najafgarh,” he added.

The three were produced before a court on Monday, and placed in police custody for a day.

Mumbai, Jul 15: A domestic row between a couple spilled onto road when a woman stopped her husbands car and climbed on its bonnet, briefly disrupting traffic on the busy Pedder Road in South Mumbai, police said on Wednesday.

The incident, which took place on Saturday evening, was recorded by some passersby on their mobile phones and its videos are making rounds on social media.

The wife chased the husband's SUV (sports utility vehicle) in her car after she spotted another woman seated next to him in his vehicle.

As her husband's SUV stopped at the Pedder Road signal, the wife get down from her car, rushed towards his four-wheeler and started shouting at him, a police official said.

In the video, the woman is seen climbing the bonnet of the SUV, removing her footwear and hitting the vehicle's windshield with it. She is also seen asking the husband's co- passenger to get out of the SUV and shouting for police help.

As she stopped her car in the middle of the busy road, one lane got blocked for some time and the traffic police personnel present there tried to ensure movement of other vehicles, the official said.

After sometime, the traffic police asked the couple to take their cars near the footpath.

By that time, the husband stepped out of his SUV, following which the wife ran towards him and caught him. She even kicked him a couple of times and took him to her car, the video shows.

She then again ran towards her husband's SUV, which was parked a few metres away. She opened its driver-side door and lunged at the woman seated in the vehicle, but was stopped by some people who had gathered at the spot, the police official said.

Later, the couple and their cars were taken to Gamdevi police station, where the wife refused to lodge a complaint against her husband.

A fine was imposed on her for traffic rules violation and abandoning her car in the middle of the road, which caused disruption of vehicular movement, the official said.
