“Pawandeep transferred Rs 2 lakh to Bhangu through Western Union that
alerted us. Another Rs 75,000 was sent directly to the account of contract
killer Lakhbir,” the SPP added.
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.”

The Inside Story
PUNE: A 'kurta' (top) purchased by the victim through an e-commerce website helped the Osmanabad police solve a six-month-old murder of a woman from Pune, whose body was found in a well at Wagholi village in Osmanabad district on December 21 last year.
The woman, identified as Kanchan Pardeshi (22), had been missing from Pune since July 2015. A missing person's complaint about her was registered with the Faraskhana police station. The Osmanabad police have arrested Pardeshi's former colleague, Prakash Chaphekar (28), and his accomplice for allegedly hacking her to death and dumping her body in the well. The team was led by sub-divisional police officer, Tuljapur division, Raj Tilak Roushan.
Harish Khedkar, inspector of the local crime branch of the Osmanabad police, told TOI that on December 21, 2015, the body of an unidentified woman was found in a well at Wagholi village. The woman's throat had been slit and she had stab wounds on her stomach, neck and other parts of the body.
"We had alerted all the neighbouring police stations and circulated photographs of the body. But we did not get any clue to identify the deceased woman," Khedkar said.
In May 2016, Roushan reopened the case and began investigations. As the woman was found wearing a blue 'kurta', police started collecting information about the manufacturer of such tops. "We came to know that these tops were manufactured somewhere in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and sold all over the country through an e-commerce website," Khedkar said.
Police contacted the e-commerce company and acquired the information of people who had purchased such kurtas. "We got their cellphone numbers and even started searching profiles on a social working website," Khedkar said.
Police traced one of these cellphone numbers to Wagholi village. Investigating further, they identified a person from the village who may have knowledge of the crime and summoned him for questioning. This man turned out to be Chaphekar's accomplice. "During sustained interrogation, he narrated the entire incident," Khedkar said.
The police officials were able to identify the woman as Pardeshi. "We checked with the Pune police and found that a missing person's complaint about Pardeshi had been registered in July 2015 with the Faraskhana police station," Khedkar said.
The Osmanabad police then took Chaphekar into custody from Pune. "During sustained interrogation, Chaphekar spilled the beans," Khedkar said.
Chaphekar, who has an MBA, worked in a Pune-based private firm, where he met Pardeshi. He had an extra-marital relationship with Pardeshi. In 2015, he left the job in Pune and started working in a firm in Nagpur. When Pardeshi started asking him to marry her, he asked her to come to Nagpur. In July last year, Pardeshi went to Nagpur.
Chaphekar stayed with Pardeshi in Nagpur till December. "As Chaphekar did not want to marry Pardeshi, he hatched the plot to eliminate her," Khedkar said.
In the second week of December, Chaphekar took Pardeshi on a trip. They reached Osmanabad on December 20 in a car. "Chaphekar had already contacted his accomplice and had informed him about the murder plot," Khedkar said.
As soon as they reached near Wagholi, Khedkar's accomplice joined them. "The two men stabbed Pardeshi with a sharp weapon and also slit her throat. They dumped her body in the well. Chaphekar then returned to Pune," Khedkar said, adding, "We arrested him from Pune on June 17 and also seized the car used in the crime."
