Raipur Shocker! Man killed, body stuffed in cement-filled trunk; couple held after stench leads to grim discovery
In a shocking incident, a man was brutally murdered, allegedly by a couple, in Raipur district of Chhattisgarh, reported the Times of India.
His body was plastered in cement, stuffed in a suitcase, and sealed within a steel trunk, said the report.
The matter came to light after residents in the DD Nagar area in Raipur informed police about a noxious stench emanating from an abandoned trunk near a roadside bush.
According to police probe, CCTV footage showed the suspects transporting the trunk in an Alto car with its rear hatch ajar, offering crucial leads in solving the case.
The footage showed two men in the vehicle, the loaded trunk in the rear and a woman with her face covered, following the car on a two-wheeler.
The police have arrested a couple, identified as the son and daughter-in-law of a retired assistant sub-inspector of Chhattisgarh police, in connection with the case. They were detained at the Delhi airport while trying to flee.
Raipur SSP Lal Umed Singh told TOI that the accused couple was arrested and the mastermind, Ankit Upadhyay, is a lawyer by profession, who took help from his wife to dispose of the body.
The victim, identified as Kishore Paikra, was an elderly man who lived alone and prima facie it appears that he was killed by slitting his throat on June 21-22, the SSP said.
The police have found the shop from where the trunk was procured and CCTV footage showed they carried it in an e-rickshaw.
According to the ToI report, a police team reached the spot and broke open the trunk, which had a heavy and cement-filled suitcase inside. Upon breaking the plaster, the cops were shocked to find the body of a man.
The further investigation into the incident is underway.
SSP Singh said the police have yet to interrogate the prime accused couple and will soon divulge all details related to the investigation.

Bouncer loses hand in attack at Thergaon
1 2 3 Pune: Three people assaulted Rahul Kanghare (30) — a bouncer — and chopped off his left palm from wrist in the early hours of Monday in Thergoan. The victim also suffered a deep cut on his right palm, police said. Prima facie investigations revealed that the bouncer was attacked over an old dispute involving his relative with a relative of one of the three suspects. The Wakad police registered a case of attempted murder against the three people — Rohan Nimaj (30), Shubham Pawar (20) and Prashant Sakat (22), all from Thergaon — and arrested them. But a court released all three of them on Tuesday citing insufficient reasons for their arrest. You Can Also Check: Pune AQI | Weather in Pune | Bank Holidays in Pune | Public Holidays in Pune Following the release of the three suspects, relatives of the victim staged a protest at the Wakad police station on Thursday and demanded immediate arrest of the trio. Deputy commissioner of police (Zone-II) Vishal Gaikwad told TOI, "We will rearrest them and produce them before the court again. We will provide all the evidence and seek their custodial remand again." In a conversation with TOI, the victim's mother, Lalita Kanghare, said, "When I learned that the suspects were released, my relatives and I went to the police station and demanded action. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

She said her brother (the injured bouncer's maternal uncle) and Nimaj, one of the three suspects, had a dispute over some trivial issue about one-and-a-half months ago. "Nimaj called my son in the early hours of Monday and told him that my brother was abusing him. My son and I decided to go and talk to my brother," the victim's mother said. She said, "While we walked towards my brother's house, Nimaj and two others picked my son up on their motorcycle and rode towards my brother's house. I walked behind them and saw all three of them assaulting my son with sharp weapons at some distance." The injured bouncer's mother said, "When two of the suspects attacked Rahul on his head, he tried to save himself with his hands. My son's left hand was chopped off from the wrist during his action to save himself. He also suffered a deep cut on the right palm. The suspects threatened everyone in the vicinity before leaving the spot." Kanghare, the mother of the victim, said her son was critical and underwent a major surgery on Thursday. The doctors said he would have to undergo one more surgery. "My son recently started working as a bouncer and has a wife and a daughter," she said. Earlier this month, the Hinjewadi police booked a man from Yavatmal for stabbing two brothers with a knife at Gaware Vasti in Hinjewadi. The incident was allegedly fallout of the suspect's illicit relationship with the duo's aunt.

South Asian-origin Brit named as man arrested at Disneyland Paris for mock wedding to 9-year-old
(Photo credit: Metropolitan Police) LONDON: A South Asian-origin British national called Jacky Jhaj has been named by UK media as the man arrested in Disneyland Paris last weekend for organising a mock wedding to a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl. Jaskarn, or Jacky Jhaj (39), was arrested last Saturday at the theme park when a 55-year-old actor who had been paid €12,000 to play the role of the father of the bride contacted police when he realised the bride was a child and she turned up looking 'scared and confused'. Jhaj is a convicted paedophile in Britain. He was jailed in 2016 for sexual activity with two 15-year-old girls and placed on the UK sex offenders register. Around 100 children and 200 adults had been paid to take part in the fake ceremony at the Sleeping Beauty castle. The mock wedding was to feature violinists, a cake, and chairs were laid out. TOI understands the plan was to create a video for social media. Jhaj had hired Disneyland Paris for several hours before it opened for the stunt, costing £110,000, allegedly using fake Latvian ID. He was going to play the role of groom to the child bride who could not walk in her bridal dress and heels and had to be carried. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like กำลังเทรดสกุลเงิน THB หรือ USD อยู่หรือเปล่า? IC Markets สมัคร Undo The 41-year-old Ukrainian mother of the girl, a 24-year-old Latvian woman who was to play the bride's sister, and the 55-year-old Latvian man acting as the groom were also arrested and have since been released. Jhaj appeared in front of a judge in Meaux, north-east Paris, on June 23 and was charged with fraud, breach of trust, money laundering, and identity theft. He remains in custody. He is a serial prankster behind scores of similar weird stunts. He hired hundreds of teenagers and children, some as young as six, to act as his fawning fans at a fake red carpet film premiere in Leicester Square in 2023 at which he pretended to be a film star, and last year he organised a fake funeral at London Oratory with a horse-drawn carriage and empty coffin, hiring extras as mourners. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: 'A 39-year-old man is wanted by the Met Police for breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a breach of a Sex Offenders' Register notification requirement. We are aware the man has been arrested in France for other matters and officers are in contact with the French authorities.'
