New Delhi: A colleague of a 42-year-old senior surveyor was killed and buried in Delhi. Police arrested Assistant Surveyor Anish Kumari (24) in the case of killing Mahesh Kumar, a senior surveyor in ‘Survey of India’. The police said that the incident took place a month ago and following the murder, the accused adopted many ways to deceive the investigation team.
According to the police, the reason for the murder was that he wanted to return the nine lakh rupees he had bought from Mahesh Kumar and he wanted to get the colleague he liked. Anish had bought 9 lakhs of rupees by saying that he would give jobs to Maheshkumar’s three friends. However, even following months, they did not get jobs. Then, when Mahesh Kumar asked for the money back, the accused planned the murder. Along with this, Anish was interested in his office colleague. Mahesh Kumar also tried to establish a relationship with the same woman. The police say that this also led to a grudge.
On the day of the incident, the accused called Mahesh Kumar to his home saying that he would return the money. Prior to this all preparations were made to perform the ceremony. The accused, who took a five-day leave from office, bought the weapons and the machete from a market in South Delhi. Later, he went to his home in Haryana, left his mobile phone there and returned to Delhi. He left the phone in Haryana to prove that he was not in Delhi on the day of the incident. Then Mahesh Kumar was invited to his flat in RK Puram.
The accused killed Mahesh Kumar by hitting him on the head when he came to the flat to get money. After confirming that he was dead, he got hold of his mobile phone and posted his status on WhatsApp. It was mentioned in Mahesh’s WhatsApp status that he is absconding because he has a loan of Rs 65 lakh. He then went to Faridabad with Mahesh’s phone and left the phone there and returned to his home in Haryana.
Meanwhile, Mahesh Kumar’s family had lodged a complaint with the police. The accused buried the body while the police investigation was going on. The body was secretly hidden in front of another colleague’s vacant house. The accused had obtained the key of the house and the gate by a trick and made a duplicate of the same. Then they dug a two feet deep hole near the house and hid the body. A new floor was built on top of this.
Meanwhile, the police had intensified their investigation on the complaint that Mahesh Kumar was missing. At this time, Anish reached Mahesh’s house and assured the family of all help to find him. However, the accused was caught by the police within days.
In the investigation conducted by the police focusing on cyber information, it became clear that Mahesh Kumar last spoke to Anish on WhatsApp. Meanwhile, the key of the victim’s car was found from Anishin’s house. However, the accused replied that Mahesh had come home and had forgotten the car keys. Then the investigation team found more circumstantial evidence and questioned him in detail, and he confessed to the crime.
According to the statement of the accused, the body was found and the body was recovered, police said. The police have seized five lakh rupees, two cars and weapons used in the crime from the accused.
