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.

Lucknow Police Commissioner Sujit Pandey said at a press conference here on Thursday that Ranjit Bachchan's second wife Smriti Srivastava, her paramour Dipendra and driver Sanjit Gautam have been arrested in connection with the case. All three were held on Thursday, while the shooter -- Jitendra -- is yet to be arrested.

Pandey said that Smriti wanted a divorce from Ranjit Bachchan and their case was pending in the family court since 2016. While she was keen to marry Dipendra, Ranjit Bachchan was unwilling to leave her.

"On January 17, Ranjit had met Smriti and even slapped her, which became the provocation for the murder," he said.

The Police Commissioner said that during investigation, the police had probed all possible angles, including a terror angle.

"We found there were no financial disputes, no property disputes and no terror angle to the case. It emerged that Smriti had an affair with Dipendra and wanted to leave Ranjit Bachchan, who had four criminal cases against him. Through technical and electronic surveillance, we found the connection between Smriti, Dipendra, driver Sanjit and the shooter Jitendra," he said.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.
