Delhi man kidnapped and killed in Uttar Pradesh village for ‘raping and blackmailing’ minor | Delhi News

“We have arrested two, Gopal and Sohanpal, and raids are being conducted to nab the others,” said Harish Bhadauria, deputy superintendent of police, Baghpat.

The accused alleged that Himanshu Sharma, a resident of Kartar Nagar in northeast Delhi’s Shahdara area, raped and blackmailed her 14-year-old niece on June 27.

“We have filed the complaint and arrested two persons in this connection. We are investigating the allegations made in the complaint while the body has been handed over to the mother of the deceased after post-mortem,” said Sanjeev Kumar, Station House Officer (SHO) of Baghpat Kotwali police station.

Anil Kumar Sharma, Himanshu’s uncle, said his nephew was kidnapped on Saturday by Ajay Pal, who lives in his neighbourhood, and his relatives

“Ajay’s mother Sundari informed us that Himanshu had been killed and his body was lying in the forest in Baghpat village. We rushed to the village with Sundari and on reaching there, we found Himanshu semi-conscious in the forest near Pabti Shamsabad village. We immediately rushed him to the local hospital where he was declared brought dead,” said Anil Kumar Sharma.

Himanshu’s mother Rajni and others accompanying her had created a ruckus in Baghpat Kotwali on Sunday morning, claiming that the local police were protecting the culprits and threatening to stage a protest if those responsible for their son’s murder were not arrested soon.

“We contacted the police in Usmanpur village on Saturday evening after finding no trace of Himanshu late on Saturday night, but they refused to file a complaint,” Anil Kumar Sharma said.
