In a shocking incident, a man was murdered at his home in Bhopal on Tuesday night after his wife allegedly hired men to chop off? his genitals.
The 55-year-old, Dr Shafatullah Khan was found dead at his home and police arrested his wife and relatives who aided her in murdering her husband. She was allegedly helped by her niece Nandini and her husband Pawan Vishwakarma.
Pawan later told the two men who took the contract, killed Khan instead. Khan had 12 stab wounds on his chest, and his throat and wrists had been slit, Jabalpur SP Shashikant Shukla said.
Shukla said initially it appeared to be a case of loot as killers had taken away cash and? jewellery from the house after locking Ayesha, her daughter and grandson in bathroom.
However, while questioning the family, the police grew suspicious as there were anomalies in version given by members of the family. Nandini finally broke down and revealed the conspiracy.
According to Shukla, Ayesha married Khan in 1991, but he had many illicit relations with several other women. He would lure young girls by promising them jobs as nurses and allegedly raped them. He allegedly raped Nandini when she was 11-year-old which resulted in her getting pregnant said Ayesha.
Ayesha claimed that the matter was hushed up. ¡°Things had reached my family and I had to act."
Pawan then hired the two men ¡ª Rajendra Malviya and Dheeraj ¡ª for the job. The killers arrived in Jabalpur on June 12 where Ayesha gave them Rs 10,000 each to chop off Khan¡¯s genitals, but Pawan decided it would be wise to kill him.
Police have arrested Ayesha, Nandini, and Rajendra while Pawan and Dheeraj are absconding.
