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.

The West Bengal government has suspended two women teachers in East Burdwan district on the charge of teaching pre-primary students from an English alphabet book consisting of a portion derogatory to the people with a dark complexion.

While presenting the alphabets with corresponding words and images, the book says U is for "Ugly". The illustration printed beside the letter is that of a boy with a dark complexion.

"The book is not part of the textbooks referred by the education department. It was introduced by the school itself. We have zero-tolerance for acts which instil prejudices into the minds of students," Education Minister Partha Chatterjee told reporters here on Thursday.

He said the two teachers of a local municipality-run school have been placed under suspension with immediate effect based on a preliminary investigation and stricter action would be taken against them later.

Though the school is now closed because of the lockdown, the matter came to light when the father of a student of the school was teaching him with the help of that book. He informed other parents and the education department was apprised of the issue, sources said.
