An Indian Air Force Corporal was allegedly hacked to death by a colleague in Bathinda, Punjab.
An Air Force Sergeant and his wife were arrested by the police from the Bhisiana air force station. The duo, along with another family member, allegedly murdered the corporal, chopped his body into pieces and stuffed it in polythene bags.
These bags were then placed in different corners of their house to avoid suspicion.
HERE IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Police recovered the body of the victim, identified as 27-year-old Vipin Shukla, from the quarter of accused Sergeant Sulesh Kumar on Tuesday.
- Shukla reportedly went missing on February 8. His wife Kumkum lodged a complaint with the police the next day. The police subsequently registered a case of kidnapping against unknown persons at Nathana Police Station in Bathinda on February 15, according to The Hindustan Times report.
- During the investigation, a team of officers reached the air force station. They detected a foul smell from Sulesh Kumar's residence.
- After searching his house, the police found the victim's body which was chopped into several pieces.
- On interrogation, Sulesh Kumar confessed to his crime and alleged that Shukla had an extra-marital affair with his wife Anuradha.
- According to the police, Anuradha was pregnant and had asked Vipin to marry her but he refused. "He had been spreading details of their relationship among other employees. Thus, Anuradha, with her husband and brother hatched a conspiracy to murder Vipin for revenge," Superintendent of Police (traffic) Gurmeet Singh was quoted as saying.
- On February 8, the accused invited Shukla to his residence to help him pack his belongings as he claimed he was shifting houses. Kumar attacked him with an axe and stuffed it in a box and took it along with him to his new quarters.
- "On February 19, Sulesh cut the body into pieces with a meat knife and packed it in 16 polythene bags. He put some in the wardrobe and the others in the refrigerator," the SP was quoted saying.
