Jilted lovers, affairs and an untimely death, these are the elements of the crime committed in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad that left the daughter of an ailing mother dead.
An 18-year-old woman was killed by her mother’s ex-lover in Ghaziabad’s Indirapuram, NDTV reported. The victim, Jyoti, had come from UP’s Babrala town — from her in-laws’ home — to take care of her mother Champa Devi, who is a cancer patient.
Jyoti, was accompanied by her husband Lalitesh and an e-rickshaw driver to Champa’s home.
The accused, identified as Bobby, arrived at Champa’s home with another man and launched a knife attack at her. In a bid to protect her, Jyoti and Lalitesh tried to tackle Bobby. But unfortunately, the tussle led to Jyoti’s death and Lalitesh ended up sustaining severe injuries.
Jyoti and Lalitesh had been married for only six months.
What happened between Bobby and Champa Devi?
Reportedly, police said that Bobby was released from the Gautam Buddha Nagar jail just 15 days ago. He and Champa Devi had been in a romantic relationship. However, during his absence, Champa’s interest and affection moved towards another man named Ajay.
Notably, Champa’s first husband passed away and her second husband is a disabled person, who lives in Bihar.
Infuriated by Champa’s affair, Bobby first called and threatened Ajay before going to Champa’s home.
As Jyoti and Lalitesh were in a struggle with Bobby, Champa ran to the police station in her vicinity to get help. Soon after, police officials arrived at her residence and caught a hold of Bobby. They arrested the accused and rushed Jyoti to a nearby hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
Police said that efforts are underway to track down Bobby’s accomplice, adding that further probe is on.
In another crime in Ghaziabad, a 40-year-old man was stabbed to death near his house. The deceased, Vinay Tyagi, worked at a private firm and was returning home from his office on Friday evening when he was attacked.
He had asked his wife to pick him up from Rajendra Nagar Metro station, however, when she reached the spot she could not find him anywhere.
“The family members have claimed that Tyagi’s mobile and laptop are missing. We have lodged a case regarding the matter and started investigations,” said Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Siddharth Gautam.
