Gurgaon: Sunil Godara, accused of killing his wife, BJP Kisan Morcha state secretary Munesh Godara, was on Sunday sent to Bhondsi jail after being produced in court. He had been on the run for five days since Munesh was murdered.
A team from Sector 10A police and Farrukhnagar crime branch arrested him on Friday evening near Hayatpur junction. The revolver with which Munesh was shot was also seized — the licence was jointly registered for Sunil and Munesh. “He has been sent to jail, but investigation is still on,” said a police officer. The probe will now look into the involvement of others who have been named in the FIRs.
The first FIR had been filed by Dalip Singh, Munesh’s father-in-law. He had accused his son Sunil, Bunty Gujjar — who Sunil suspected Munesh of being involved with, and Bunty’s wife Anu for the murder. According to Dalip, the couple would often fight over her alleged infidelity and on Sunday, he had said, an argument along the same lines had escalated and Sunil had shot Munesh in their kitchen. He had then left the society after an altercation with security guards, who said he was drunk at the time.
A day after the murder, however, Munesh’s brother Sunil Jhakkar had filed another complaint, accusing Dalip. He said Munesh had been facing domestic violence for years and that Dalip and Sunil had plotted her murder. The motive, he had added, was that they were eyeing Munesh’s property. He had also said Munesh had tried to kill herself after she was beaten up and locked inside the house by Sunil in 2013. An FIR was registered for conspiracy for murder on the basis of his complaint at Sector 10A police station.
Before taking charge as the state secretary for BJP Kisan Morcha, Munesh had been the chief of the BJP Mahila Morcha for three years till 2016. The couple lived in a rented flat at Spaze Privy society in Sector 93. Their children — a daughter and a son — were in another room in the house when Munesh was killed. TOI had earlier reported that Sunil had been an Army personnel but was asked to take voluntary retirement because of his conduct. He had since been working as a security officer with a private firm.
