Uttar Pradesh: Cop kills dad for not allowing him to marry girlfriend in Baghpat

MEERUT: A 25-year-old Uttar Pradesh police constable allegedly killed his father in Shabka village of UP's Baghpat district on October 16 for not "agreeing to his plans to marry his 23-year-old girlfriend".
Station officer of Chhaprauli police station, inspector Nitin Pandey, said, "Accused Gaurav Kumar, posted in Unnao, was arrested after he confessed to the crime during investigation. A case has been registered against him under IPC section 304 (culpable homicide) following a complaint by his mother."
The matter came to light when the constable's mother, Vimla Devi, filed a missing persons complaint on October 17 after her husband, Sudesh Pal, 52, did not return home.
During preliminary investigation, it was found that the accused cop, absent from his duty for the past several months, had a tiff with his father over marrying his girlfriend, said Pandey. "Kumar stuck his father on his head with an iron rod after a heated argument and he died on the spot. Then he packed the body in a sack and dumped it in a sugarcane field on the outskirts of the village. We found the victim's body on October 18," added Pandey.
