CHANDIGARH: A Chandigarh businessman strangulated his wife, put the dead body in the front seat of a car, fastened the seat belt, and drove for over three hours, covering a distance of over 100 kms, to dump the body in Hoshiarpur in Punjab.
And to be doubly-sure that she was dead he and his lover poured petrol over her body and set it afire before throwing the body in a ditch alongside a highway. The police have arrested Vajinder Singh, who they said had anextramarital relationship with Renu and wanted to move his wife out of the way. Renu has also been arrested for allegedly being an accomplice to the crime.
The body of Suresh Kumari alias Pooja has been recovered from a deserted forest area in Hoshiarpur district on Thursday. Vajinder is a manager with a franchise of Nik & Bakers in Sector 35 and was having an affair with Renu for the past three years. Vajinder and Pooja were married for around six years.
The murder took place on July 13 and the father-in-law of the deceased, Balwinder Pal, lodged amissing person complaint on the same day at the Sector 19 police station in Chandigarh.
The needle of suspicion turned towards Vajinder when Prem Chand, brother of Pooja, reported to the police that Vajinder had an affair with another woman and he suspected that Vajinder killed his sister. Chandigarh SSP Nau Nihal Singh said after getting the complaint Vajinder was picked up for questioning and he broke down and confessed his crime.
Vajinder Singh along with his paramour Renu allegedly murdered his wife after strangling her three times. Both of them first strangled her in Sector 9 and then put the body on the front seat of the car, holding it firmly with a seat belt. Then they drove with the body for more than 100km and dumped it after allegedly partially burning it in a deserted forest area of Hoshiarpur district in Punjab.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Vajinder was demanding divorce from Pooja in order to marry Renu but the latter had declined to do so. It had resulted in more bitterness between the couple.
SSP (UT) Naunihal Singh said after getting the complaint, Vajinder was picked up for questioning and he reportedly confessed to his crime. His paramour Renu is a resident of Hoshiarpur district and Pooja's partially burnt body was recovered following Renu giving information about its location, the SSP added.
Police officials said, "Vajinder had given Pooja an intoxicant in a soft drink in the moving car on July 13. He then called Renu and the two strangled her in Sector 9. They started driving towards Hoshiapur but found on their way that Pooja was still alive. She was strangulated two times more on the way. The body was later set on fire and dumped."
Renu and Vajinder had worked together at a fast food chain in Jalandhar district three years ago, which is when their reported affair began. Renu is living in a paying guest accommodation in Sector 20, Chandigarh, though she hails from Hoshiarpur district.
After dumping the body in Hoshiarpur district, Renu stayed in her house in Hoshiarpur. She is married but has a matrimonial dispute with her husband.
