New Delhi, April 1: This is one 'body in bag' that didn't go past the cops and landed the killers in jail. For once, the policemen at the picket - this one in New Friends Colony - didn't just wave the vehicle through but insisted on checking the package that the passengers were so zealously guarding on the rear seat.

It was around 4am on Saturday when two constables, Rajeev Mishra and Sheikh-ul-Khan, stopped a cab with two passengers inside. What caught their eye was a big bundle that looked like a cloth bag. Their suspicion aroused, they asked the two men what it contained but got evasive replies.

They then insisted on checking it out. At this the passengers, Kushal Pal (24) and Dinesh (25), offered to give them Rs 50 if they looked the other way. When the cops would have none of it, the bribe offer went up to Rs 500. The cops then ignored their protests and began checking the bundle.

Out tumbled the body of a man. The hands had been tied to the legs to avoid detection but the two men had not counted on running into this determined cops. It was the body of one Babu Singh (30), who had been murdered around midnight and was now being taken towards Aligarh for being dumped somewhere on the highway.

Caught in the act, the two men confessed to having murdered the man. It was a tale of illicit relations and deceit. According to police, Pal was in love with Singh's wife and decided to get him out of the way. He first rented a room in Kotla Mubarakpur in south Delhi a few days ago. Then, taking his cousin into confidence, he planned the murder. "They planned to dump the body in Faridabad and flee to Aligarh," said Ajay Chaudhry, additional commissioner of police, southeast.

On Friday night, the two men called Singh to their Kotla Mubarakpur house and got him drunk. Once he was out of his senses, they overpowered and strangled him. The body was then wrapped in a bedsheet in such a way that it may look like a bag or sack.

They booked a radio taxi and headed for Aligarh. When the taxi driver asked them about their 'luggage', they told him it was a gift for their sister's wedding. The two, according to police, had planned to disfigure the face and dump the body on the highway.

The two cops will be recommended for out-of-turn promotion and cash rewards, Chaudhry added.
