Etah Woman Murder Case: Subhash Singh, the hitman has been arrested.
New Delhi:
Upset with her daughter’s love affair, Alka Devi, 42, hired a hitman to kill her daughter but ended up being murdered by him. In a shocking turn of events, Subhash, the hitman, turned out to be the daughter’s lover. In exchange for a marriage proposal, he murdered the woman. The incident came to light on October 6, when Alka’s body was found in a millet field under Jasrathpur police station of Etah district, Uttar Pradesh.
This tale of contract killing is not as modest as it appears to be. The number of characters will grow as each chapter unfolds. Sit tight.
Last week, on October 5, Alka Devi had gone to Etah to plead a case. When she didn’t return till late evening, Ramakant, her husband tried calling on her mobile but it was switched off. He looked around for his partner but all in vain until Sunday evening, when he got a call from the police, asking to identify a dead body.
Following identification, Alka’s body was sent for a postmortem and the widower Ramakant registered a case against two men – Akhilesh and Aniket – from his village, in Jasrathpur police station.
Reportedly, the duo is also accused of luring and kidnapping Alka’s daughter. Akhilesh was put behind bars by Naya Gaon police while the minor girl was safely rescued and sent to her family.
Alka Devi, probably scarred by the incident, sent her daughter to her maternal home in Sikandarpur Khas village of Farrukhabad district.
There the minor girl developed a relationship with 38-year-old Subhash, who, in the past, has served 10 years in jail. Subhash got her a mobile phone to talk.
Alka was tired and upset of her daughter’s love affair. That’s when she decided to get her daughter killed. She offered Subhash Rs. 50,000 to execute the murder. Little did she know Subhash was the man her daughter was having an affair with.
