Meerut, Dec. 25 -- Fresh revelations in the brutal murder of Rahul in Sambhal district have brought the spotlight firmly on his wife Ruby, with police uncovering disturbing details about her criminal tendencies, alleged blackmail operations and a calculated plan to evade suspicion after the killing. Rahul had been missing since November 18, and it was Ruby herself who filed a missing complaint on November 20. After the body was recovered, police questioned families of over 20 missing persons before identifying the victim through a tattoo bearing Rahul's name on his left arm. The missing case was then converted into a murder case, and Ruby and her lover Gaurav were arrested. Police investigations have revealed that Ruby, a resident of Mohalla Chunni in Chandausi, has a history of criminal conduct even before the murder of her husband. According to officials, information has surfaced that Ruby was involved in blackmail and extortion, prompting the police to scrutinise her past records across multiple police stations. A police official said that six complaints were earlier registered by Ruby at Chandausi and other police stations. In several cases, she allegedly extorted money from parties by threatening them and later collecting cash in the name of "settling" or withdrawing complaints. Superintendent of police Krishan Kumar Bishnoi confirmed that the criminal backgrounds of Ruby and her lover Gaurav are being thoroughly verified. "Information has been received that the woman used to blackmail people. Based on the findings, further legal action will be taken," the SP said. Investigators have also revealed that after murdering her husband Rahul, Ruby had planned to leave the city. However, instead of fleeing immediately, she decided to stay in Chandausi for some time, shifting between different locations so as not to raise suspicion. Call detail records have shown that Ruby was in constant contact with several people, a fact corroborated by multiple witnesses. Police said Rahul was deeply disturbed by her behaviour, but frequent arguments followed whenever he objected....
