Maharashtra Crime: Man Drowns Girlfriend To Death In Bucket, Dumps Body In Valsad Creek With Wife’s Help; Couple Arrested

Published

on

Palghar: A 43-year-old married man employed in the film industry, identified as Manohar Shukla, allegedly murdered his girlfriend after she refused to withdraw a rape complaint against him. The horrifying episode occurred in Palghar district’s Naigaon.

Manohar Shukla was arrested at his Evershine residence in Vasai on Tuesday. His wife, Poornima, was also taken into custody. The details surrounding the crime are disturbing.

Details On The Crime

In a chilling turn of events, it is alleged that Shukla and his wife Poornima helped conceal the crime. They reportedly placed the victim’s body in a suitcase, embarked on a journey spanning over 150 kilometres on a scooter, and ultimately disposed of the body near a creek in Valsad, Gujarat. To avoid arousing suspicion, they took their two-year-old daughter along with them during this macabre journey.

The incident took place between August 9 and 12, with the victim, a 28-year-old makeup artist, meeting a tragic end. Her lifeless body was found packed near a creek in Valsad, Gujarat.

Investigation Unfolds Crime

Initially, the Valsad police had registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and proceeded to cremate the victim’s body, as no one came forward to claim it. However, the circumstances surrounding her death raised suspicions.

During the preliminary investigation, it was revealed that the victim had drowned before her body was concealed in the suitcase. Manohar Shukla, a resident of Vasai City, was then arrested in connection with the crime.

Background And Relationship

The victim and the accused, Manohar Shukla, had been neighbours in Vasai in 2013. They got into a relationship a year later, and despite Shukla’s marriage to Poornima in 2018, he continued his relationship with the victim. In early 2019, when Poornima discovered the affair, a confrontation occurred.

The victim’s family had reported her as missing on August 14, prompting a police investigation. An FIR was registered on Monday under Indian Penal Code Sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing the disappearance of evidence of the offense) following a complaint by the victim’s sister.

Ongoing Investigation

An abetment to suicide case has also been lodged against Manohar Shukla at another police station within the Mira Bhayander-Vasai Virar police limits. The role of Shukla’s wife in the crime is under investigation, and further details are expected to emerge.

UP: Man Beats Wife To Death In Amroha For Not Meeting Dowry Demands Of TVS Apache Bike & ₹3 Lakh Cash

Published

Amroha: In a tragic incident from Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha, a young woman named Meena was brutally beaten to death by her husband, Sundar, for not fulfilling his dowry demands. Sundar, a resident of Baikheda village, had been married to Meena for two years and had persistently demanded a TVS Apache bike and Rs 3 lakh as dowry. Despite repeated harassment over the dowry, Meena was unable to meet his demands, a situation she had confided to her father.

Meena had been staying at her father’s home in Soharka since the festival of Rakshabandhan, possibly seeking refuge from the abuse. Sundar continued visiting her daily, often having meals with her family, creating an appearance of normalcy.

Sundar Brought Meena Back Home, Later Killed Her

On Sunday night, he came to bring her back to his house. Once there, Sundar confronted her again about the dowry and, in a violent fit of rage, attacked her with sticks. Unable to force her compliance, he strangled her to death before fleeing the scene.

It was the local residents who first alerted the authorities to the murder. Upon hearing the devastating news, Meena’s family rushed to the police station, demanding immediate action against Sundar. Her father, Vijay Khadak Banshi, later lodged a formal complaint accusing Sundar, along with his mother, sister and four others, of involvement in the crime.

Case Filed, Manhunt Launched To Nab Accused

The police have registered a case based on the family’s complaint and are actively searching for Sundar, who remains at large. Meanwhile, Meena’s body has been sent for a post-mortem examination to aid in the ongoing investigation.
