Rajasthan man kills dad to claim Rs 4 lakh as insurance

JAIPUR: A 30-year-old man from a

Bharatpur

village along with his two friends killed his father to claim

insurance

money of Rs 4 lakh.

The youth, Rajesh Singh, had purchased four insurance policies in the name of his father, identified as Mohkam Singh, with a total insurance claim of Rs 4 lakh after his death. According to Deeg police, who had arrested the accused on December 25 after the trio were found in suspicious circumstances near Kosi, the murder was made to look like an accident.

The three were caught by a Deeg police patrol when they tried to hide themselves in the Kosi area from the cops.

“When our team was passing, they hid themselves behind a tree. They were unable to give satisfactory replies to our questions. We arrested them for disturbing peace,” Deeg SHO Rajesh Pathak said.

Later, on Sunday, the police found the bloodstained body of Mohkam Singh on the road near Kosi.

“Prima facie it appeared to be an accident. However, it was found that except for some head injuries, the body did not have even a single mark on the lower back or shoulders which is usual in road accidents. So, we suspected it to be a murder. We enquired about his relatives and were told that Singh had a son who was in the village itself. Soon, we found that Rajesh Singh, the son of the deceased, was already lodged in our police station for disturbing peace. We interrogated him and he confessed to the crime,” Pathak said.

“The three persons, Rajesh (30), Vijendra (25) and Kanha (26), who were arrested by us for disturbing peace, had committed the murder,” he said.

Asked about the details of the crime, Pathak said, “Rajesh’s brother had died in a road accident a year ago when he was working in Faridabad as a delivery boy. Following his death, his wife had received a lot of money as insurance. This prompted Rajesh to insure his father and kill him to claim the money by making it look like an accident.”
