Property Dealer Brutally Murdered in Hisar Office, Police Probe Robbery Angle
In a shocking incident that has sent ripples through the community, a property dealer was brutally murdered by unidentified assailants in Hisar district. The crime occurred on Tuesday morning when the attackers broke into his office located in the Sector 6 market of Hansi.
Details of the Heinous Crime
The assailants allegedly used sharp-edged weapons and firearms during the attack, resulting in fatal injuries to the victim. The deceased has been identified as 65-year-old Subhash Malik, a resident of Sector 6 in Hansi. Malik was a retired panchayat officer who had transitioned into working as a property dealer in his post-retirement years.
Family members revealed that Subhash Malik's gold chain and bracelet were missing from the crime scene, prompting the police to investigate the case from a robbery angle alongside the murder investigation. This dual approach suggests that the motive might extend beyond personal enmity to include financial gain.
Family Background and Routine
Subhash Malik is survived by his wife and three sons, all of whom are employed in government services, highlighting the family's stable background. According to his son Aman Malik, who works as a junior engineer in the Panchayati Raj Department, his father maintained a consistent daily routine.
Every morning, Subhash Malik would leave for his property consultancy office around 7 am after having tea. His office was conveniently located about 50 metres from their residence. As part of his routine, he would return home with milk after cleaning the office premises. Interestingly, he often left his mobile phone at home during these morning hours.
Discovery of the Crime
On the fateful Tuesday, Subhash Malik left home as usual but failed to return. The first indication that something was amiss came when the milk vendor informed the family that Malik had not come to collect milk as per his regular schedule.
His wife, Pushpa Malik, grew concerned and went to check on him at his office around 11 am. To her horror, she found him lying unconscious on the floor in a pool of blood. He was immediately rushed to the Civil Hospital in Hansi, where doctors declared him dead upon arrival.
Medical Findings and Police Action
A subsequent medical examination confirmed that the injuries were caused by both sharp weapons and gunfire, indicating the violent nature of the attack. The Hansi police have registered an FIR at the City Hansi Police Station against unknown persons under Section 103 (murder) of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita.
The complaint was filed by Aman Malik, who detailed the circumstances surrounding his father's murder. Police have initiated a comprehensive investigation to identify and apprehend the assailants, examining all possible angles including robbery, personal disputes, and professional rivalries.
Community Impact and Ongoing Investigation
This brutal murder has left the local community in shock, particularly in the Sector 6 market area where Subhash Malik was well-known. The incident raises concerns about security for small business owners and property dealers operating in the region.
Police authorities have assured the family and public that they are pursuing all leads diligently. The investigation continues as forensic teams examine the crime scene and police interview potential witnesses in the vicinity of the Sector 6 market.
