In a horrific incident, a couple allegedly assaulted a 45-year-old man using tools like a screwdriver and a pair of pliers, and then killed him in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal.
The police have detained the couple and are interrogating them, NDTV reported,
The incident took place on Saturday when the accused couple called the victim, identified as 45-year-old Anish, to their home and beat him brutally. They pulled out his teeth with pliers and hit him repeatedly with iron rods.
While the victim’s family said he was murdered over a Rs 7 lakh loan, police have speculated an extramarital affair as the reason behind the horrific crime.
According to Anish’s father, Mustakim, the victim’s wedding was finalised, and he had gone to his neighbour’s home (the accused couple’s home) to ask for the Rs 7 lakh he had lent them years back.
“They killed my son so brutally that I cannot even describe it,” he told the news outlet.
Around 2 am on Saturday, Anish’s elder brother got the information about his younger brother’s assault. An injured Anish, who somehow managed to escape from the couple’s house, was found lying in a pool of blood in his home’s drawing room. He was taken to the community health center, where he succumbed to the injuries.
Additional Superintendent of Police Rajesh Kumar Srivastava said police got information about Anish’s death late last night. “We are registering a murder case and further action will be taken.”
Srivastava said the investigation had revealed that Anish’s neighbour Raees Ahmed and his wife Sitara had murdered him. “During questioning, we found that the victim, Anish, was in a relationship with Sitara. Raees and Sitara plotted Anish’s murder, invited him over and then killed him,” he said as quoted by the news outlet.
