Not allowed to sell property, man kills mother in Delhi

Published

A woman was killed by her 29-year-old son after she did not allow him to sell the property in north Delhi, police said on Wednesday, adding that they have nabbed the accused.

The accused was identified as Deepak. The incident came to light on Tuesday morning when the police control room (PCR) received a distress call at 9:48 a.m., reporting a murder at Shora Kothi, Ghantaghar Subzi Mandi. The caller was none other than the deceased’s daughter, Charu.

Upon arriving at the scene, a police team discovered the lifeless body of the victim, Indu, lying in one of the bedrooms. Charu informed the police that her brother, Deepak, had killed their mother and had already fled the scene when she made the PCR call.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (North), Sagar Singh Kalsi, revealed that to prevent Deepak’s escape, the teams quickly cordoned off the surrounding streets.

“Investigations revealed that the deceased had been living with her son, Deepak, who had a history of physically abusing her on a daily basis. The accused was known to be a habitual drunkard and unemployed, making matters worse,” said the DCP.

The crime scene examination indicated that Indu had sustained multiple injuries to her face, neck, and hand. “It was evident that her body had been dragged from one room to another. The police called in the Crime Team and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to gather evidence, and they managed to seize blood-stained clothes from the premises,” said the DCP.

In her statement to the police, Charu explained that Deepak had been married a few years ago but his wife had left him after enduring months of merciless beatings. She further revealed that Deepak had a history of violent behaviour, having also assaulted their elder brother, Mohit, who had tragically passed away a few years back.

Deepak, without any legitimate source of income, led an extravagant lifestyle. Earlier this year, he had sold a house that belonged to their mother, using the money to buy luxury items such as a large-screen television and a car, which he barely drove.

According to Charu’s statement, Deepak had now set his sights on selling the property at Shora Kothi, Ghantaghar, to fund his drinking habits and move to a different residence. However, Indu firmly opposed the idea of selling their family home, leading to a confrontation that turned deadly.

During the investigation, the police conducted a thorough search of the Shora Kothi area, eventually apprehending Deepak from a hiding spot under an unused cot in one of the buildings in the locality.

In his confession, Deepak revealed that on Monday night at approximately 8:30 p.m., he and his mother were in the same bedroom when she asked him to turn off the air conditioner. Enraged by a phone call with his sister Charu, during which his mother complained about his abusive behaviour, Deepak attacked her with a sharp-edged danda (stick), causing severe injuries to her head, face, neck, and hand, rendering her unconscious.

He then moved her to another room, leaving her on the floor, and informed Charu through a video call that their mother was unconscious. “Deepak admitted that he knew she was already dead, but Charu did not suspect it since their mother had lost consciousness in the past after his beatings,” said the DCP.

Deepak, intoxicated from alcohol, planned to flee after a few hours of rest, assuming that Charu would not visit during the night. However, he overslept and was only awakened when both of his sisters arrived at his door, ultimately leading to his arrest.

Kolkata, Jan 31: West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose might take up the complaints of the parents of the victim in the R.G. Kar rape and murder case regarding the entire line of investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) with the office of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

A statement issued from the office of the Governor on Friday hinted at this.

The statement comes a day after the victim’s parents, on Thursday evening, went to Raj Bhavan in Kolkata and had a long meeting with the Governor.

“The parents expressed their plight and requested justice. They requested the Hon’ble Governor to present their petition to the Hon’ble President and Hon’ble Union Home Minister, to whom they have already submitted their petition. The Hon’ble Governor assured to take necessary action,” read the statement issued from the Governor’s office in the morning.

As per the statement, the Governor also assured the victim’s parents that they were not alone in this grief and that justice in the matter would be done.

The indication from the office of the Governor comes just a day after the state president of BJP in West Bengal and the Union Minister of State Sukanta Majumdar, on Thursday, gave a somewhat similar assurance on the matter.

Majumdar, on Thursday afternoon, went to the residence of the victim’s parents and had a long meeting with them.

During the meeting, the victim’s parents claimed to have explained to Majumdar why they were unhappy with the entire investigation by the CBI. They also explained why they are against the death penalty for the sole convict in the case, Sanjay Roy.

The victim’s parents reportedly highlighted the observations made by a special court in Kolkata on the lapses in investigation by the central agency.

Confirming this, Majumdar told media persons that the victim’s parents had pointed out certain observations by the special court.

Majumdar also said the victim’s parents had complaints against one particular investigating officer.

“They have updated me on the matter and I assured them of communicating their grievances to the appropriate authorities,” Majumdar said.

RG Kar financial case: Calcutta HC nixes Sandip Ghosh’s plea for more time before framing of charges

Kolkata, Jan 31: The Calcutta High Court on Friday rejected the plea of the former principal of R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, seeking additional time before the process of framing of charges against him starts in connection with the financial irregularities in the institute.

On January 28, Calcutta High Court’s single-judge bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to complete the process of charge-framing in the case by February 6 following which the trial could start.

However, on Friday, Ghosh’s counsel filed a petition at the same single-judge bench seeking additional time before the beginning of the trial process.

However, Justice Ghosh rejected the petition and observed that there had been a systematic delay in the beginning of the trial process in the matter.

Justice Ghosh also observed that despite CBI filing a chargesheet in November last year, there had been a delay in the beginning of the trial process.

Initially, the process of framing a charge against Ghosh could not be started because of the non-availability of a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the state government, which is mandatory for charge-framing and the beginning of the trial process against any state government employee.

However, on January 28, the CBI counsel informed Justice Ghosh’s bench that finally they secured the NOC from the state government, which cleared the decks for completing the process of charge framing and the beginning of the trial process.

Thereafter, Justice Ghosh directed CBI to complete the process of charge framing by February 6.

Besides CBI, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also conducting a parallel probe in the case of financial irregularities at R. G. Kar.

While CBI started its investigation following an order by the Calcutta High Court, ED made a suo motu entry to investigate the money laundering angle after filing an enforcement case information report (ECIR).

Altogether five persons, including Ghosh, his assistant-cum- bodyguard Afsar Alir, private contractors Biplab Sinha and Suman Hazra and a junior doctor Ashish Pandey, have been named by CBI in its chargesheet. All of them are in judicial custody now.
