Noida: The Uttar Pradesh police arrested a man, who was believed to have died, for allegedly killing his wife and two children three years ago and then buried their bodies in the basement of his house in Greater Noida, officials said on Thursday.
The remnants of the framework were excavated from the site Wednesday night by teams from the larger police teams and police KasGanj, and had been sent for forensic examinations, they said.
The married man with his girlfriend also killed a friend and threw away his head in Kasganj in 2018 and placed his own identity card near the body to lead the investigators to believe that he had been killed, officials said.
The police said that it was his extramarium affair that triggered 34-year-old Rakesh and his girlfriend Rubi, who was a police officer, to plan throughout the episode.
Whether accused of being accused of four members of the Rakesh family, including his parents and his brothers, had been arrested, said Kasganj SP Rohan Pramod Botre.
He said Rakesh and Rubi were having a relationship but in 2012 his family married Ratnesh, with whom he had two children.
“In February 2018, he had killed his wife (27) and two children (three and one) with an iron rod and burying their bodies under the basement of the house.
He then got a cement floor made in the same basement,” said Botre.
A few weeks later, Ratnesh’s father filed a complaint of “lost” people at the Bibrakh police station at Greater Noida.
He claimed that his daughter and two children were kidnapped by Rakesh his son-in-law, the officer said.
Two months later, the bodies with lost heads were found in the Dholna Kasganj and FIR area submitted, with the police believing in the basis of the proof that was planted that it was the same rakesh body, he said.
One Rakesh brother has also confirmed the identification.
However, the results of the forensic test then showed the deceased not rakesh.
The probe in both cases has reached a road barrier until the investigation begins back on fir in KasGanj, where Botre is transferred recently.
Deputy Deputy Deputy for the Additional Police Commissioner (ADCP), Central Nida, Aggarwal Ankur, in the course of an inquiry of murder cases, the KasGanj police on Wednesday reached Bibrakh and told their colleagues that Rakesh was still alive and had been arrested.
“Police KasGanj also told us that Rakesh, who was accused of kidnapping his wife and two children, had told them that he had killed his family members and buried their bodies in their homes in Budrakh in Greater Noida,” Aggarwal said.
The basement of Rakesh’s house in Bibrakh was searched and several remnants of the framework were excavated on Wednesday in front of the Noida police team and a larger Kasganj, he said.
“These remnants have been sent to forensic experts so that identity can be ascertained and based on the modification will be made in the figs who nest here in 2018,” ADCP said.
Further investigation and legal process in this case are being carried out, police said.
