Murder in Ghaziabad: 3 men kidnap and shoot dead 25-year-old, dump body in Hindon river
On the evening of June 7, Ankur, 25, had just finished having dinner with a friend. After dropping the friend off on his scooter, he was riding home alone, unaware that he was being followed. What allegedly followed was a chilling sequence of events — a kidnapping, a cold-blooded murder, and a plan to erase all evidence. His body was recovered nearly two weeks later on Thursday. Ankur, a resident of Ganauli village in Ghaziabad's Loni, was known to a young woman, related to one of the accused. Police said the accused had warned Ankur to stay away from her. When he didn't listen, the accused decided to kill him with the help of his two friends, police said. According to the Loni Police, the trio waited for the right moment to catch Ankur on the night of June 7. When they saw him returning home alone on his scooter, they allegedly blocked his path with their car on the Siroli-Chirodi Road. As Ankur stopped, two of them pulled him into the vehicle, and his scooter was shoved into the bushes nearby, said officers. They drove to a deserted stretch of a canal near the village of Jawli. There, the accused allegedly pulled out a country-made pistol and fired four to five rounds — the bullets struck Ankur's head, chest, and hand, which killed him instantly, said police. The trio spread a plastic sheet on the rear seat of their car, where they placed the body. Later that night, they drove to the Hindon River bridge and threw the body into the water, hoping it would never be found. Then they walked a short distance to find a tap, where they washed the blood off their hands, clothes, and the car, police said. But they weren't done. The next day, around 4 am, the three returned to the spot where Ankur's scooter had been hidden. They set it on fire using petrol from its tank, and one of the accused also burned his bloodstained T-shirt. Later, they loaded the charred scooter and dumped it into the bushes. For nearly a week, they lived as if nothing had happened, keeping an eye on the river, worried that the body might float up. Then came June 13. That's when Gopal, Ankur's brother, approached the Loni Police and filed a kidnapping complaint. A case was registered under relevant sections, and a police team began tracing the missing wrestler. On Thursday, nearly six days later, police recovered Ankur's body from the Hindon River, confirming the family's worst fears. That same day, one of the accused was shot in the leg during a shootout with the police and arrested. From the spot, police recovered a pistol believed to be the murder weapon, four empty cartridges, and a 9mm shell. A few hours later, another arrest followed — one of the two friends of the accused was picked up during a routine check near the Banthla flyover. With his arrest, police recovered the Swift car used in the crime and Ankur's scorched scooter. During questioning, police said the friend admitted to everything: the motive, the plan, the route, and where the body had been dumped. The third accomplice has also been arrested, said police.

'Neither had helmets on': How a midnight joyride on Rs 9-lakh Ducati Scrambler turned fatal for two young professionals in Noida
In Greater Noida West, a fatal accident occurred when a speeding Ducati Scrambler, carrying two young professionals, crashed into a construction pit near Char Murti roundabout. Ankur Singh and Kashish, neither wearing helmets, died after the bike rammed through a guardrail. NOIDA: A midnight joyride on a high-end Ducati Scrambler turned fatal for two young professionals in Greater Noida West on Tuesday when the speeding bike rammed through an iron guardrail and plunged into a 7-foot-deep pit dug up for an underpass project near the busy Char Murti roundabout. Neither was wearing a helmet. The victims, Ankur Singh (28) and his friend Kashish (25), had stepped out for a late-night spin. Singh picked her up from her flat in 14th Avenue society around 2.30am, just minutes before the crash. They were likely headed to his residence in Panchsheel Green 2, also in Noida Extension. Police said Singh, who was riding the Ducati, may have lost control at high speed. 'The bike smashed through the guardrail and fell into the pit. It appears both victims landed on construction machinery or debris inside, sustaining grievous injuries,' a senior Bisrakh police officer said. Sandbags placed behind the guardrail failed to absorb the impact. Both Ankur and Kashish were rushed to the District Hospital in Sector 39 but were declared dead on arrival. 'They were brought in with severe trauma. Neither had a helmet on,' said hospital CMS Dr Renu Aggarwal. The Ducati, a premium model worth around Rs 9 lakh, remained largely intact after the fall, police said. With no eyewitnesses at that hour, investigators are now scanning CCTV footage from nearby areas and examining the crash site to reconstruct events. Kashish's family was on its way from Allahabad by Tuesday evening, while Singh's relatives hadn't yet been contacted, police said. The spot where the accident occurred, Char Murti roundabout, also known as Gaur Chowk, is at the heart of a major infrastructure revamp in Greater Noida West. A 700-metre-long underpass is being built to ease congestion on the Taj Highway, connecting Gaur City to the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. Greater Noida Authority officials said diversion signage and metal barricades were already in place. 'It seems the vehicle was at high speed. We've directed immediate upgrades to the site — reflective tapes, better-lit zones and reinforced barriers. A coordination meeting with traffic police is also being scheduled to post night-time personnel,' said Prerna Singh, additional CEO of GNIDA. Experts say poor visibility, unbarricaded construction stretches and high-speed biking — often without protective gear — have led to a spike in road fatalities. UP alone saw 13,000 crashes and nearly 7,700 deaths between January and May this year. Noida accounted for 1,165 accidents and 462 deaths in 2023.
