For those who have been fascinated by names like ‘Definite’, ‘Perpendicular’, ‘Tangent’ in Anurag Kashyap’s film ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ need to be rest assured such names do exist in India. Yes, it’s quite common in the northern belt consisting of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand. And here we have a real-life proof. Two days ago, UP police arrested a person named ‘Mental’ in Bareilly. His story, in fact, seems to be similar to Gangs of Wasseypur’s Sardar Khan, known as a womaniser criminal.
‘Mental’ aka Akash Sharma along with his accomplices brought two unidentified women to the terrace of an under-construction house and were “seen engaging in obscene acts” while intoxicated. A couple living nearby objected when the “noise escalated”. However, the husband and wife ended up losing their lives.
Bareilly Couple Killed For Objecting To ‘Obscene Acts’
According to a report in Times of India31-year-old Shivshakti Pathak from Bareilly’s Cantonment area was allegedly murdered by ‘Mental’ and two of his accomplices after he objected to their “obscene behaviour” with two women.
The matter came to light following a police complaint by Shivshakti’s brother Sudhanshu Pathak after the victim died during treatment on Sunday.
Sudhanshu, who lives in Chetna Colony, identified two of the accused — Akash Sharma, also known as ‘Mental’, and Deepak Yadav. The third suspect is believed to be their associate from Nakatia, a small village in the neighborhood of Pilibhit city.
According to the complaint, around 10.30pm on June 3, the three men brought two unidentified women to the terrace of a house under construction, opposite Shivshakti’s residence. They allegedly performed “obscene acts” while intoxicated. When the noise grew louder, Shivshakti and his wife Pooja objected.
In retaliation, the trio reportedly forced their way into the Pathaks’ home and fatally assaulted Shivshakti. They also attacked Pooja and stole Shivshakti’s gold chain, said Sudhanshu.
Cantt police have registered a murder case and initiated a search for the suspects. Akash alias ‘Mental’ is known to have a criminal history and is feared in the locality.
Inspector Rajesh Kumar was quoted as saying that the case appears suspicious, and since the post-mortem report did not confirm the cause of death, a viscera sample has been preserved. Police noted that local residents have not provided any information, and the investigation continues.
