Noida woman hires men to kill daughter-in-law, was unhappy with son's marriage
Noida Police arrested three people, including two contract killers, who barged into the home of a 27-year-old woman and shot her dead earlier this week.
A woman in Noida hired two contract killers and paid them Rs 1 lakh to kill her daughter-in-law as she was unhappy with her son's marriage.
Police have arrested the three accused in the case, including the mother-in-law of the victim and the two contract killers.
The incident happened earlier this week on September 5, when two men barged into the home of a 27-year-old woman and shot her dead.
The victim, identified as Soni, was originally from Bihar, and lived with her husband in Noida's Badalpur area. She had left her first husband and remarried, but her second marriage was causing tension within the family.
Soni's mother-in-law Geeta Devi was unhappy with the marriage. She told police that her son was neglecting the family after his second marriage and had also stopped providing financial support.
She then hired two contract killers and paid them Rs 1 lakh to kill her daughter-in-law.
During the investigation, police came across the images of the two assailants on CCTV camera footage recovered from near Soni’s residence, following which they were tracked down.
One of the suspects, Sachin, attempted to flee with the police's pistol but got injured in a scuffle with the cops, a senior police official, Suniti Singh, said.
