The Inside Story
A sub-inspector of the Uttar Pradesh Police was arrested on Tuesday in
connection with the murder of a 25-year-old woman, who had filed a rape case
against the police official's son a year ago.
Bachchu Singh, a resident of Ghaziabad in UP, had allegedly hired a contract
killer for Rs. 1.5 lakh to execute his plan. The woman was murdered in
November last year and her body was disposed of in an irrigation canal in
Aligarh, 336 km west of state capital Lucknow. The contract killer, his
journalist wife, Singh's son and a police constable have also been arrested.
During interrogation, Amarpal, the hitman, admitted to killing the woman and
accused the sub-inspector (SI) of hatching the plot. The woman, who used to
run a mobile store in Ghaziabad after parting ways with her husband, went
missing on November 30, 2013. After two days, her family members filed an
abduction case, which said the woman left home after receiving a call from
Rashmi Chaudhary, a journalist who had promised her a job. The police zeroed
in on Chaudhary, a frequent visitor to the woman's house and believed to be
Amarpal's wife. The couple is from the Aligarh area. "The woman's younger
brother had clicked her (Chaudhary's) photograph on a mobile phone (which
helped the police in the chase)... The couple was arrested late on Monday
night," a superintendent-level police official said. "Our investigations have
revealed the SI sought help from a police constable... Amarpal was roped in
for Rs. 1.5 lakh," the official added. Chaudhary took the woman to Aligarh,
where Amarpal and an aide strangled her, the police official said. "The body
is yet to be recovered." The woman, who was Singh's neighbour, had filed a
case of rape in March 2013 against the police official's son Tarun, who was
chargesheeted in the case and is out on bail.
