Elopement leads to murder: Four land in police net after 1 month
Gurgaon: Four people, including a landlord and his tenant, who conspired to murder a person to avenge his elopement with the latter's sister in Sohna last month have been arrested.
On July 6, police received information about a body with its throat slit, hands tied behind and eyes blindfolded with a dupatta on the road leading to Ansal Sohna Road. The deceased was identified as Sameer, a labourer and resident of Katghara Shankar village in Mau district (Uttar Pradesh).
The accused were identified as Mahesh (35) from Khori Kalan village, Nuh district; Ramsadan alias Vicky (38) from New Bazaar, Mau district, Uttar Pradesh; Leela Devi (38) from New Bazaar, Mau and Aleem Khan from Shahdol village, Tijara district, Rajasthan.
Mahesh was arrested on Aug 13, while Aleem Khan, Leela Devi and Ramsadan were arrested on Aug 14 in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan.
Sohna ACP Jitender Kumar said, "Initial police interrogation revealed that Leela Devi and Ramsadan are a married couple and a person named Sonu rented a room in their house for the past three years. The victim, Sameer, eloped and married Sonu's sister, leading to a grudge. In retaliation, Sonu, along with Leela, Ramsadan and Aleem Khan, kidnapped and murdered Sameer."
Police said they are conducting thorough interrogations to uncover motives and accomplices.
