Gautam Nagar police has arrested three persons including a woman for killing a 50-year-old man on February 27 and have recovered weapon, motorcycle, mobile phones and documents of the victim.
Superintendent of Police Bhopal (North) Arvind Saxena said that victim Saudan Singh was killed by Idu (30) and Pooja alias Muskhan (27) while Chand (20) helped in disposing the body.
On February 26 Saudan Singh and Idu were consuming liquor at Nishatpura. When the liquor got finished and Saudan asked Idu to bring more liquor and sent him to buy it. On his return Idu found that Saudan is trying to sexually assault his wife Pooja, enraged by Saudan’s action he smashed his head and silted his throat using a sharp edged weapon. After killing the victim, Pooja and Idu went to Idu’s younger brother Chand and later with his help the body was disposed, he added.
Providing the reason of the body being dumped in the residential area, SP Saxena told that while Chand and Idu were carrying the body in a gunny bag, Chand’s leg got brushed with another motorbike and fearing that the motorbike rider would quarrel they escaped the spot quickly and dumped the body in haste near residential area.
It was not a planned murder as the victim was killed by the accused Idu in a bid to save his wife Pooja. All the miscreants have criminal record.
Idu was booked under Section 307, 34 of the IPC and 25 Arms Act , Pooja was booked under Section 363, 366 and 120(B) of the IPC and Chand was booked under Section 324 of the IPC and 25 Arms Act. Victim used to work as an agent for facilitating works at the district court.
