NEW DELHI: A 26-year-old property dealer from Vikaspuri was murdered by his cousin and another relative in Noida for stalking a female relative, police said on Saturday.
Noida police found Rakesh Kumar's body in a canal, in Sector 132, on Friday morning. There were stabbing wounds on his stomach, neck and chest. The cousin, Ramanand (25), and his brother-in-law, Deepak (26), have been arrested.
Ramanand works as a lab technician in Sector 2, Rohini, while Deepak lives in Sector 44, Noida. The accused had planned to murder Kumar in Meerut, but lost their way driving there.
Police said trouble started about two-and-a-half months ago when Ramanand's sister married Deepak. "Rakesh, who is married and has a child, used to send Ramanand's sister lewd messages and called her at odd hours. He didn't stop even after she married Deepak. The family elders did not complain to police,'' said an officer from Vikaspuri police station, which carried out both the arrests.
V Renganathan, additional CP (west) said Deepak and Ramanand decided to murder Kumar after he ignored their appeals. "The duo invited Rakesh to Ramanand's residence in Rohini on July 11. They cajoled him to get drunk; the liquor was probably laced with sedatives. They then took him to Sector 132 in Noida, near a reputed nursery school, and stabbed him several times on his stomach, neck and chest before throwing his body in the canal."
Police said the deceased's family lodged a complaint on July 12 at the Vikaspuri police station. "His brother Dipesh said Kumar had not returned home on July 11 and that his phone was switched off. A case of kidnapping was registered on July 13,'' said an investigator.
The guard of the Noida school noticed the decomposed body inside the canal on the morning of July 13 and the Sector 39 police registered a case of murder and suppression of evidence. "When we began questioning the people last noticed with Rakesh, we got to know about Ramanand's movements. He could not give a proper alibi and broke down during sustained questioning, and owned up to the murder,'' said Renganathan, adding that they are trying to recover the weapon used for the murder.
The police said they had seized the car used by the accused. "We will be taking down statements of the other family members and the accused's sister to ascertain other facts. The Noida police have been contacted to gather case details, including the postmortem report,'' said the officer.
