Occultist Charged with Triple Murder for Monetary Gain

New Delhi: Monetary gain was the motive behind the triple murder inside a car in west Delhi's Peeragarhi, according to the chargesheet filed by Delhi Police in the Rohini court against self-proclaimed occultist Kamruddin on Wednesday.

Chargesheet Details

The 500-plus-page document cites 47 witnesses, including those duped by him, and charges Kamruddin with murder. CCTV footage showing Kamruddin with the victims, along with his movement across multiple locations, helped investigators establish his involvement.

Modus Operandi

Kamruddin, a resident of Firozabad, allegedly lured people on the pretext of offering 'Dhanvarsha' through tantric rituals, gained their trust and exerted psychological influence. He would then offer poison-mixed laddoos and subsequently rob them of cash and valuables. Police have also cited two prior murder cases against him.
