Haryana Crime News: Police have arrested a woman and her boyfriend for planning to kill her husband in Haryana’s Panipat in 2021.
The victim, Vinod Barda, was hit by a Punjab-registered vehicle on October 5, 2021. He survived the accident but fractured both his legs. Two months later, on 15 December 2021, Vinod Barda was shot dead at his home in Panipat.
The investigation revealed that Vinod’s wife Nidhi along with her boyfriend Sumit had conspired to kill her husband. They first met with an accident in which Vinod survived. He was later shot dead.
The case was registered when Vinod’s uncle Virendra filed a complaint in December 2021. He told the police that after Vinod’s accident, a case was registered against the driver Dev Sunar and he was arrested.
Fifteen days later, Dev Sunar, a resident of Bathinda, approached Vinod for a settlement, which he refused. Dev Sunar then threatened him.
On 15 December 2021, Dev Sunar entered Vinod’s house with a pistol, locked the door from inside and shot Vinod in the waist and head. When Vinod was taken to the hospital, he was declared brought dead.
A police official said Dev Sunar was lodged in Panipat jail and the case was pending in court. Recently, the brother of Vinod Barda, who lives in Australia, sent a message on WhatsApp and expressed suspicion on other accomplices. The officer took the matter seriously and appointed a team to investigate again. The team re-examined the case file and sought permission from the court to resume the investigation.
Dev Sunar was in touch with a person named Sumit, who was in frequent communication with Vinod’s wife Nidhi. Sumit was arrested by police on June 7 and during interrogation, he confessed to plotting Vinod’s accident and then shooting him.
Sumit said that in 2021 he met Nidhi at a gym where he was a trainer and they soon became friends. When Vinod finds out about their relationship, he confronts them and has an argument with Nidhi. Sumit and Nidhi then conspire to kill Vinod by causing an accident first.
Police said Sumit offered Dev Sunar Rs 10 lakh and met all the expenses of the murder. Dev Sunar was given a Punjab-registered loading pickup truck, which he used to hit Vinod in October. After reading the joke, they plan to shoot him. Dev Sunar was bailed out of jail armed with illegal weapons and sent to Vinod’s house on the pretext of seeking forgiveness. On December 15, 2021, Dev Sunar entered the house and shot Vinod.
