‘Pran Jaaye, Par Dosti Na Jaaye’: UP Man’s Friend Falls In Love With Woman Who ‘Married Mason’ — Then A Murder!

A woman killed her husband with the help of her lover and his friend in Meerut’s Rasulpur Rohta village, leaving the locals stunned. Kajal, the woman, first gave her husband, Anil, sleeping pills after he objected to her relationship, police said. When he became unconscious, she called her lover, Akash, and his friend Badal. The trio then strangled Anil with a dupatta and threw him into the Siwalkhas Ganga canal. Kajal later pretended that her husband had gone missing. Anil, a 32-year-old mason, was reported missing on October 25. His elder brother, Raju, filed a complaint at the Rohta police station the next day. Based on call records and surveillance, police suspected Kajal, Akash, and Badal’s involvement. On November 5, Raju also lodged a kidnapping case against them. Acting on a tip, Rohta police arrested Akash and Badal near Rasulpur Madhi Government School. After interrogation, Kajal was also taken into custody. During questioning, the accused revealed that Kajal called the two men around 2 am after Anil fell unconscious. Together, they transported him to the canal and went ahead with the plan to kill him. SP Rural Abhijeet Kumar said Kajal and Akash had been in a relationship for two years. When Anil opposed it, they conspired with Badal to eliminate him. Kajal reportedly gave Anil six sleeping pills mixed with his food that night. Akash got the pills from a local market. Police recovered Kajal’s dupatta used in the crime near the Siwalkhas Ganganahar bridge. The remaining pills were found hidden in her house. Divers have been deployed to search the Ganga canal. Police have also contacted Ghaziabad authorities about unidentified bodies found downstream. All three accused have been presented in court and sent to jail.
