The weapons used by a woman and son to murder her husband are yet to be recovered
The Delhi Police is yet to recover the weapons used by a woman and her son for killing and chopping the body of her husband in east Delhi’s Pandav Nagar area, officials said on November 29.
Anjan Das (45) was killed on May 30 by his wife Poonam (48) and stepson Deepak (25), residents of Kalyanpuri, who were arrested from east Delhi’s Pandav Nagar area on Nov. 28.
A senior police officer on November 29 said that the weapons of murder are yet to be recovered and further investigation is underway. The duo is currently in police custody.
Anjan Das had another wife and children in Bihar and they had no inkling about his disappearance for several months, officials said on Monday.
Das had a wife and eight children in Bihar, a senior police official said, adding that he used to send them money, but not regularly.
The official said as he did not send money at “regular intervals”, his family in Bihar “did not suspect he is missing and no missing complaint was lodged in Delhi or in Bihar”.
The trigger for the grisly crime was the fact that Das had alleged ill intentions towards her stepdaughter and Deepak’s wife as well, and he was also sending Poonam’s earnings to his other wife and eight children in Bihar.
