Delhi woman gets philanderer husband killed by contract killer
A 28-year-old woman was arrested for getting her philanderer husband, having two wives, killed with the help of a contract killer in the national capital, an official said on Wednesday.
The accused woman was identified as Chander Kala alias Chanda and the contract killer Jumman alias Jumma, a history-sheeter of the Ranhola area, surrendered before the Tis Hazari Court.
DCP (outer district) Sameer Sharma said a PCR call regarding a murder near Holy Convent School Deep Enclave, Part 2, was received at Police Station Ranhola on May 18. The police staff rushed to the scene of crime and examined it thoroughly, where they found that a man was lying on a bed in a pool of blood. The deceased, identified as Veer Bahadur Verma (50), was shifted to the DDU hospital where he was declared brought dead.
Accordingly the police registered a case under section 302 (punishment for murder), 120 B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and initiated an investigation.
During the probe it was found that the deceased and his wife used to fight very often. The wife of the deceased was interrogated, but she kept on changing her version and statement. She told the police that some robbers entered her house and looted money along with the jewellery after brutally assaulting her husband. However, the police were not satisfied as her statements pertaining to the ‘robbery’ were inconsistent. After this the police examined CCTV footage in which history-sheeter Jumman, a bad character of the area, was seen roaming suspiciously near the scene of crime.
The police obtained call detail records of Chander Kala and during the analysis it was revealed that the wife of the deceased was in touch with Jumman and had made several calls to him in the past few weeks.
Finally after sustained interrogation, accused Chander Kala confessed to the crime.
Accused Chander Kala disclosed that around 13-14 years ago she used to work at the garment shop of the deceased Veer Bahadur Verma where he used to molest her but due to her weak financial conditions she never opposed. Thereafter, she got married to Veer Bahadur Verma although she was aware of the fact that he was already married and had children too. But her husband used to spend more time with his first wife. She also came to know that her husband had two or three more extra-marital affairs.
The accused Chander Kala just a few weeks back shared her ordeal with Nargis, a woman who used to work at their garment shop on the ground floor of their building.
“Nargis told Chander Kala that her brother Jumman is a criminal and recently came out of jail and can help her. So, she came in contact with Jumman but later Nargis died due to blood cancer,” the senior official said.
Later, Chander Kala, finally, decided to get rid of her husband and offered Rs 1.5 lakh to Jumman tol eliminate her husband. On May 18, she deliberately left the gate of her house open when her husband was sleeping. Jumman entered and struck two blows of hammer on deceased Veer Bahadur’s head. They also tried to make it look like a robbery turned wrong.

Senior citizen in Bengal’s Dinhata attempts suicide, fearing deletion of name from voters’ list

Kolkata, Oct 29: A 60-year old man, Khairul Sheikh, a resident of Dinhata in Cooch Behar district of West Bengal, allegedly tried to commit suicide by consuming poison on Wednesday reportedly out of the fear of getting his name deleted from the voters’ list following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in the state, the groundwork for which will start from November 4.
His family members have told the police and the media persons that, although the name of Sheikh was in the voters’ list of 2002, the year when the SIR was conducted in West Bengal for the last time, the spelling of his name was incorrect in that list.
According to Shaikh’s family members, he was scared that because of the mistake in the spelling of his name in the 2002 list, his name might be deleted from the voters’ list.
Confirming the development, the new District Police Superintendent, Sandip Karra, told media persons that as per the versions of Sheikh’s family members since the SIR was announced for West Bengal by the ECI earlier this week, he started panicking.
“The police have started an investigation into the matter. He is currently under treatment. We will investigate him after he recovers and get to know from him the reasons behind his act,” Karra said.
Trinamool Congress’ Cooch Behar district president, Avijit Dey, said that the incident is proof of what kind of panic is there among the common people over the SIR.
“What I heard is that some people told Sheikh that because of the mistake in the spelling of his name in the 2022 list, his name will be deleted from the voters’ list following the fresh SIR, and he will also be deported to Bangladesh. Out that fear he tried to commit suicide,” Dey added.
The BJP legislator from Cooch Behar (Uttar) constituency, Sukumar Roy, said that even if the fear factor prompted Sheikh to attempt suicide, Trinamool Congress is responsible for that since the party is responsible for spreading a false sense of fear among people about the SIR.
On Tuesday, a 57-year-old man, identified as Pradeep Kar, committed suicide at Panihati in North 24 Parganas district, reportedly out of fear of being affected by a possible National Register of Citizens (NRC) in West Bengal.
BJP had already raised doubts about whether the suicide note recovered from near his body was actually written by the deceased person and also demanded a proper investigation into the actual reason behind the suicide.
On Tuesday, both the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool Congress’s General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee accused the BJP and the Union government of spreading a sense of fear and division by using NRC as a tool, where people are often made to doubt their own right to existence, the reflection of which was felt in the suicide of Kar.
Since the beginning, Trinamool Congress leadership had been describing the SIR as an indirect ploy by the BJP and the Union government to impose the NRC in West Bengal.

Mumbai Crime: High-Tech CCTV Cameras Help Chembur Police Nab Burglar Red-Handed Inside Sarvodaya Estate House

Mumbai: High-tech security cameras installed in a house at Sarvodaya Estate, Chembur, helped police catch a burglar red-handed in the early hours of October 26. The accused has been identified as Nikhil Anil Kamble, a resident of Vashinaka. The Chembur police have registered a case and arrested him.
According to the FIR, Ravindra Kashinath Churi, 72, a retired employee of India Waterproofing Company, resides at Sarvodaya Estate with his wife Sushma, 66, and son Jay, 35. The family usually spends the day at their Sarvodaya Estate home but stays overnight at their residence in Ramkrishna Apartment, Postal Colony Road, Chembur.
For security, Churi had installed advanced CCTV cameras at his Sarvodaya Estate home. As usual, on the evening of October 25, around 6 p.m., the family locked the house and left for Ramkrishna Apartment. The next morning, at around 5:45 a.m., Jay received an alert on his mobile phone from the security system, indicating movement inside the house.
Upon checking the camera footage, Jay informed his parents that someone had broken into the house. Ravindra Churi and his son rushed to the spot and found the main door locked from both inside and outside. Upon inspection, they noticed that the kitchen window grill was partially broken and moved aside, confirming that a burglar was inside.
Jay immediately called the police helpline (100). Acting swiftly, a Chembur police team reached the scene and, with assistance from the fire brigade, broke open the door. Inside, they found Nikhil Kamble hiding and caught him red-handed.
Although no valuables were found in Kamble’s possession, the house was ransacked. The police took him into custody and registered an FIR under Sections 331(4) and 62 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) Act, based on Ravindra Churi’s complaint, charging Kamble with breaking the window grill and attempting burglary.
The Chembur police are conducting further investigation into the case.
