BAGAHA: The kidnapping and murder case lodged with Dhanaha police station has turned out to be of honour killing, Bagaha SP Kiran Kumar Gorakh Jadhav said on Sunday. Two main accused of the case, including the complainant, have been arrested and sent to jail.
Jadhav said 17-year-old Sandhya Kumari of village Ghaghawa Rupahi was killed by her family members because of her love affairs with one Vikash Kushwaha, who was a helper of the girl's brother Birendar Gupta, a PDS dealer. Gupta and his family members killed the girl and implicated their enemies in a false murder case.
Birendar, his wife Priti Gupta, cousin Abhay Gupta and 4-5 others killed the girl and threw her body on the roadside at Pacharukhia in Kushinagar district of UP on the night of May 27-28. The UP Police had recovered the body and handed it over to her family members through Dhanaha police.
Priti had lodged a murder case against five persons, said to be the opponents of her husband. The family members had also blocked Ghghawa Road with the body, demanding immediate arrest of the accused.
Suspecting foul play, the SP formed a police team led by SDPO Bagaha, Kailash Prasad, to crack the case. Other accused would be arrested soon, the SP said.
