Police have solved the murder case of a migrant labourer whose body was found in Awan Ghodeshah village, arresting the victim's brother-in-law for the crime.
Arrest and Identification
The accused has been identified as Ankit, son of Raju Yadav, a resident of Raipur in Lakhimpur Kheri district, Uttar Pradesh. The victim, Pardesi, son of Rajwant, belonged to Sonbarsa village in Kushinagar district, Uttar Pradesh.
Investigation Details
DSP Davinder Singh Bajwa and Tanda police station SHO Inspector Gurinderjit Singh Nagra said a murder case was registered against the accused based on a complaint by Sukhwinder Singh, a resident of Awan Ghodeshah village, on the previous day.
During the investigation, police discovered that Ankit was upset with Pardesi due to a family dispute. Ankit had been living in a rented house in the village for the past few days. Earlier, he had a disagreement with his wife Pushpa. A few days ago, Pardesi’s wife Sunita had accompanied Pushpa and her children to Uttar Pradesh, which allegedly angered Ankit.
Threats and Evidence
The complainant told police that Ankit had openly blamed Pardesi for ruining his family life and had threatened not to spare him if his wife did not return. Pardesi’s body was later found inside his room. Police said marks of strangulation were found on his neck.
During the investigation, a villager named Kulwant Singh informed police that he had seen Ankit riding away from the area near the village elementary school on a motorcycle on June 13. Based on the evidence collected, police concluded that Ankit had allegedly strangled Pardesi to death.
Current Status
The accused has been arrested and is being questioned. Further investigation is underway.
