A woman in West Bengal’s Malda district has been arrested for allegedly murdering her nephew-in-law and concealing his dismembered body in a cement wall.
The victim, Saddam Nadab, a labour contractor by profession, was reported missing on 18 May after he left home on his scooter and never returned. He had been living with his aunt by marriage, Moumita Hasan Nadab, in Malda. According to police, the two worked together and were also allegedly in a romantic relationship.
Following his disappearance, police began an investigation and took Moumita in for questioning. During interrogation, she confessed to killing Saddam, cutting his body into three pieces, and encasing it in cement under the stairs of her father’s residence in the Tapan area of neighbouring Dinajpur district, India Today reported.
Moumita Nadab further told the police that she was being blackmailed by Saddam with explicit photos, which she claimed drove her to commit the murder. However, the police believe the real motive may have been financial, as Saddam was reportedly carrying several lakhs of rupees. They suspect the killing may have stemmed from a dispute over the money
Meanwhile, in a similar incident in Delhi, a 38-year-old man allegedly killed his wife at their home in the outer north Bawana area, suspecting her of having an affair with his younger brother.
The husband, Beerpal, was arrested on June 1 after he allegedly murdered his wife, Phoolwati, 32, by strangling her with a black scarf at their residence. “A black scarf was found tightly tied around the woman’s neck. There were no external injury marks visible,” police said, adding that the body was identified by the couple’s daughter.
During questioning, Beerpal confessed that the motive behind the murder was Phoolwati’s alleged extramarital relationship with his younger brother Amit. Beerpal, who works in a factory in Sector-1 DSIIDC Bawana, was arrested and a case under Section 103(1) (punishment of murder) BNS was registered.
