A spy-style murder.
A 28-year-old banker was murdered by his wife's ex-lover with the help of a
physiotherapist, who injected him with a lethal dose of poison in the neck in
a market in Delhi.
According to reports, the victim, Ravi Kumar, who worked in Sadar Bazar, was
headed home on Saturday evening, when he felt a prick on his neck. Although he
collapsed within moments, he managed to turn and grab his assailant, Prem
Singh, who had been contracted to kill him by Anish Yadav, a gym trainer, who
was in love with Kumar's wife.
Singh was caught by the people and Kumar taken to a hospital, where he died of
poisoning within hours. In his testimony to the police, Singh said he was paid
₹150,000 to finish off Kumar by Yadav, who had been in a relationship with the
latter's wife.
Police sources said Kumar's wife had broken off her relationship with Yadav
after she got married about a year ago. Yadav, too, tied the knot in July last
year, but continued to be in touch with his former lover. When Yadav's wife
found out about their relationship, she left him, at which point Yadav started
putting pressure on Kumar's wife to leave her husband too.
Since Kumar's wife resisted Yadav's plan, he decided to plot the murder to get
the "hurdle" out of the way. Singh allegedly procured several deadly drugs —
Midazolam, Fortwin and Phenergan — from a hospital to make a lethal cocktail,
which he tried to inject into Kumar while he was travelling in an auto
rickshaw in October last year. However, he missed his chance that time and
Kumar too didn't complain to the police.
Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov was killed in a similar manner, poisoned by
the tip of an umbrella as he was waiting for a bus in Central London, in
1978.

According to police, the incident took place on the evening of January 7, when
the victim, Ravi Kumar, who worked at Sadar Bazar, was heading home.
Police said Kumar was rushed to St Stephen’s Hospital nearby, where he died of
poisoning the next day.
“Kumar was injected on his neck by one Prem Singh, a physiotherapist. He told
police he had murdered Kumar after being approached by his friend Aneesh
Yadav, a gym trainer. Initial investigation revealed that Yadav planned the
murder as Kumar’s wife was in a relationship with him before she got married,”
said additional DCP (north) Esha Pandey. Police said Singh allegedly took Rs
1.5 lakh from Yadav for the murder.
“It looks like two chemicals were mixed into the injection. The drugs have
been identified as Midazolam and Fortwin. We are seeking medical help for
clarity,” said the police officer.
Police said Kumar’s wife broke her relationship with Yadav after she got
married in February last year. Yadav, too, got married in July but they kept
in touch.
“Yadav’s wife got to know about this and she left him. Yadav then started
pressuring Kumar’s wife to leave her husband, which she refused. This irked
Yadav and he planned the murder,” claimed the police officer.
Police said Singh had also made an attempt on Kumar’s life in October, when he
injected the same chemical while he was in an auto. But Kumar survived at the
time and did not file a complaint, his father Pramod, an ex-serviceman,
said.
“When we reached the hospital on Sunday morning, his neck was swollen. He
passed away in the evening,” Pramod said. “I wish he had filed a police
complaint the last time.”
