Delhi man murders mother, sister over suspicion of prostitution

September 29, 2016

Gurgaon, Sep 29: Gurgaon police have arrested a 21-year-old man from Najafgarh in Delhi for allegedly killing his mother and sister a week ago on suspicion of prostitution. Two others were also held for aiding the suspect, Sumit, in the “honour-killing” crime.

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, Feb 11: A 65-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband over debt and illness in suburban Powai here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when Sheela Ajit Lad was found dead by her neighbours at Sukh Shanti Co-operative Society at around 9.30 pm on Monday, an official said.

The victim was allegedly killed by her husband Ajit Lad, who hit her on the head with a heavy object, slit her wrists and strangled her to death, he said.

The accused absconded at around 7.30 pm, leaving a note at the crime scene, saying he was going to commit suicide and had killed his wife because he was heavily in debt and she was suffering from an ailment, the official said.

The childless couple lived alone in the apartment, he added.

"On the basis of the note, we have registered a case of murder against Ajit Lad and have launched a manhunt for him. We have not traced him or found his body as he had mentioned suicide in the note," deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Zone X Ankit Goyal said.
