Retired S-I kills daughter over marriageplans; wife, son help dispose of body
Agra, Dec. 16 -- A retired police sub-inspector allegedly strangulated his daughter over her decision to marry outside the family's wishes, and, later, disposed of her body in the Yamuna with the help of his son, wife and relatives, police here said on Monday.
While the murder was said to have taken place on October 25, Ranveer Singh Yadav, who retired as an S-I in UP Police in 2022 and lives in Malpura area, reported his daughter, Anshu Yadav, missing to the police more than a month later on November 30.
A case under section 103(1) (murder), 238 (disappearance of evidence) and 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered at the Malpura police station.
While Ranveer Singh, his son Gaurav Yadav and one of their relatives have been put behind bars, the retired S-I's wife and another woman named as accused in the case were yet to be arrested, they added.
A missing complaint was lodged on December 13 at Malpura police station by one Anurag Yadav from Firozabad, who stated that he and Anshu, who was in her 30s, had plans to get married, but her family members were not ready for it.
The complainant also filed a habeas corpus petition in the High Court of Allahabad as Anshu was not traceable since the last week of October.
"ACP Sukanya Sharma, who led the investigation, came across a video from October 24, wherein Anshu could be heard saying she and Anurag Yadav were in love and had plans to get married too. But her family members threatened to kill her and opposed to their marriage," said deputy commissioner of police (Agra West)-Rural. in a media briefing.
"The police investigation raised suspicion on the father of the girl, Ranveer Singh Yadav, who was a sub-inspector in UP Police. Anshu Yadav was strangulated on October 25 by her father Ranveer Singh, brother Gaurav Yadav and mother (name)," said Atul Sharma.
ACP Sukanya Sharma said Anshu's body was disposed of in the Yamuna in Etawah district. The family then chose to report her missing on November 30 after a petition was filed in the High Court by Anurag Yadav," said Sharma. "Tracing the body was tough, and it was only due to the efforts of SDRF and the field unit that parts of it could be recovered and sent for DNA testing. A suit in which the girl had a photograph in past was also traced confirming body to be hers and led to arrest of three' stated ACP Sukanya Sharma.
Along with Ranveer Singh and Gaurav, Anshu's maternal uncle from Etawah, Satish Kumar Yadav, was also arrested. The wives of Satish and Ranveer, who aided in the crime, were yet to be arrested....
