Missing activist's bones found, wife killed him
NEW DELHI: Six months after a social activist and local communist leader from Bawana in north Delhi went missing under mysterious circumstances, the crime branch has disclosed that he was murdered by his wife and her brothers-in-law.
The cops have recovered the skeleton and other remnants of Ramcharan Ram (60) and arrested his wife Janki Devi (45) and her brother-in-law Vinod Kumar (35). Cops are still looking for another accused, Jhagru, who is also Janki's brother-in-law. Vinod and Jhagru are self styled godmen.
Janki was afraid of losing the property as Ram was having an affair, police said, adding that her brothers-in-law were enraged after the leader brutally thrashed his wife.
The case was cracked after the special operation squad (SOS) of crime branch received a tip-off that the missing leader may have been murdered and buried by his wife and brothers-in-law. The informer said that the accused were trying to flee to Bihar. "Immediately, a team led by ACP Suresh Kaushik and inspector Ashok Kumar was formed to arrest the accused," said additional CP Ravindra Yadav said.
The SOS team apprehended Janki and Vinod, who were packing their bags, from their house in Bawana. During questioning, both tried to mislead the police team but broke down under sustained interrogation and confessed to have murdered Ram.
The accused revealed that Ram sold one of his houses for around Rs 7 lakh and purchased another house for Rs 4 lakh. Janki said Ram had developed an illicit relation with a woman in the area and had spent the remaining amount received from the sale of the house on her.
This led to frequent quarrels between the couple and Ram often beat her up, Janki claimed. They had a big fight when Janki caught him trying to take away property documents of the house with intentions of transferring it on the woman's name.
In December 2012, she shared her problem with Vinod and Jhagru, who assured to help her. For two weeks before the murder, the accused held Ram captive in a room on the first floor of his house. They told the neighbours that he had gone to his native village.
On the New Year's Eve, they made Ram consume a lot of alcohol but he did not get drunk enough. The next day, they made him drink more alcohol until he was extremely inebriated and then Jhagru smothered Ram with a pillow while Vinod and Janki pinned down his hands, police said.
That night, they could not dispose of the body. Next evening, when there was dense fog, they put the body in a gunny bag and took it to a nearby isolated field and buried it in a pit. Yadav said they had recovered the skeleton and remnants of the body on the instance of the accused with the help of a mobile crime team and forensic experts. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Missing-activists-bones-found-wife-killed-him/articleshow/20963903.cms
