Soon after the Meerut Murder case, a shocking case from Auraiya district of Uttar Pradesh recently emerged where a 22-year-old woman and her boyfriend conspired and killed her husband within two weeks of marriage. The suspected duo, Pragati Yadav and Anurag Yadav, were in love for four years but could not get married as their families never accepted their relationship. Both families agreed to marry Pragati to 25-year-old Dilip on March 5.
Angry to be separated, the lovers hatched a conspiracy to eliminate Dilip so that they might be reunited. Under their design, they contracted a killer, Ramaji Chaudhary, and offered him Rs 2 lakh to murder Dilip.
Brutal Assault on the Fields
On March 19, victim Dilip was brutally assaulted in an open field and sustained several gunshot wounds. The incident was reported to the police by the residents, and he was rushed to the Bidhuna community health center for immediate treatment. When his condition deteriorated, he was transferred to Saifai Hospital and ultimately to Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. His condition further deteriorated despite all efforts from the medical fraternity. He was ultimately transferred to an Auraiya hospital on the 20th of March. He passed away the following day.
Police Probe Reveals Assassination Plot
After the death of Dilip, his brother filed a case in Sahar police station, and the police investigated the matter thoroughly. In the investigation of the case, the police to their surprise discovered that Pragati and Anurag were the culprits behind the crime.
They employed Ramaji Chaudhary and brought Dilip to the fields under some pretext. After arriving at the point of destination, Ramaji and his friends brutally beat up the victim and killed him finally by shooting. Offenders soon fled from the place injuring Dilip gravely.
Arrests and Seizures
The police and CCTV camera chased and arrested the three suspects. Pragati, Anurag, and Ramaji were arrested. Two pistols, four live cartridges, one motorbike, two mobiles, a purse, an Aadhar card, and Rs 3,000 were recovered from the suspects at the time of arrest.
In the meantime, the other culprits of the crime who are still on the run are being pursued by the police. The police have assured that all the culprits of the crime would be caught in a few days’ time.
The ghastly crime is a testimony to the anarchy which was established after unlimited emotions and criminality. The cold-blooded act of betrayal, plotted by a new bride and her paramour, not only robbed a young man of his life but set them on the path to destruction as well. The deeper the police investigate, the more committed they are to bringing all of the players in this deadly crime in for booking with the authorities so they can have their day in court.
