Inspired by a crime show on television, three killers thought they had executed the perfect murder plan when they buried alive a 40-year-old Delhi businessman a few days ago.
However, a combination of ground-level policing and forensic examinations helped crack the case and arrest the suspected killers.
To evade the police, two of these killers had deliberately got themselves jailed in a UP prison by getting caught with illegal firearms. That evidently did not help as they have again been arrested from the prison on murder charges.
The victim, Faimuddin, was a resident of northeast Delhi’s Welcome area and was into the land-filling business. A few months ago, he had provided his services to a man named Safal, 24, who chose to pay Rs 30,000 less than what was decided.
Faimuddin had approached him several times to recover the dues, but each time he was slapped and misbehaved with, said the police. Faimuddin got his revenge when Safal visited him a few weeks ago and again requested his service.
“Faimuddin agreed and demanded Rs 5,000 as advance. When he received the cash, he refused to fill Safal’s land saying he had only recovered a portion of his dues,” said AK Singla, DCP (NE).
That had left Safal infuriated and seeking revenge. He roped in his cousin, Deepak, and an associate, Vipin, to eliminate Faimuddin.
As per their plan, Safal lured the victim away from his home on June 28 on the pretext of sorting out their monetary dispute.
Instead, they abducted the victim and dumped him in Safal’s Alto car and drove him to a village in Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur. On the way, they tied him up with ropes and thrashed him badly.
