Bareilly: Father booked for son's murder and burying him secretly during lockdown

BAREILLY: A man along with two others were finally booked for allegedly killing his son over a property dispute and burying the body secretly during the Covid lockdown in April, in the Quila area of Bareilly.
An investigation by circle officer Saad Miyan and the autopsy report confirmed that the man had died of pellet injuries in the chest and head. It indicated that his death was not natural.
After this revelation, Bareilly SSP Rohit Singh Sajwan has suspended Quila SHO Manoj Kumar. The SHO had reportedly refused to register an FIR earlier on the complaint of the deceased man's wife. An FIR has now been registered under the IPC sections of murder and disappearing of evidence against the father and brother. Both of them were detained on Thursday.
Notably, the wife had approached the police on numerous occasions after the sudden death of her husband. And now, finally, after her repeated complaints, her husband's body was exhumed and sent for autopsy.
On Wednesday, the SSP said, “The body was exhumed in the presence of a magistrate, and the investigation by the circle officer suggested it was an unnatural death. We are suspending the SHO for not registering the complaint and recommend a departmental probe against him. Two accused have been detained while the third one is still absconding."
