A 21-year-old woman was allegedly kidnapped from the Barra police station area in Kanpur and later found shot dead, with her body dumped in Bulandshahr, police said on Wednesday. The victim's mother accused a nursing home operator in Unnao and his nephew of abduction and suspected murder of her daughter.
Incident Details
The woman, originally from Unnao, was living in a rented room in B-Block Karrahi Vishwabank Barra for her children's schooling. On May 25, her mother filed a complaint at Barra police station against the operator of Uttam Hospital in Shekhpur, Unnao, and his nephew, an ambulance driver, for physically exploiting her daughter on May 19.
The police reported that after learning about the complaint, the operator's nephew allegedly contacted the woman and arranged a meeting. After exchanging messages, she went to meet him, and her phone was subsequently turned off. When she didn't return, a report was filed at Barra police station for abduction and suspected murder.
Confession and Recovery
During interrogation, the nephew admitted to shooting and killing the woman. He revealed that her body was taken to Bulandshahr and dumped in the Jahangirabad area. When Barra police contacted Bulandshahr police, they were informed that an unidentified woman's body had been found, but it was unrecognizable due to its condition and had been sent for a postmortem. On Tuesday, the nursing home operator also surrendered at the police station after the cops intensified their search for him.
A police team went to Bulandshahr with the nephew to recover the body. DCP South, Deependra Nath Chaudhary, confirmed that both suspects are in custody and being questioned.
