The woman confessed to killing her stepson with the help of her boyfriend (representative)
Ghaziabad:
A woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly killing her stepson and hiding his body in a sewage tank, police said here. On Monday, police received a complaint that 11-year-old Shadab had gone missing on October 15, they said.
When police checked CCTV footage of the nearby area, they found that the boy never left his house in Govind Puri locality on Sunday evening, they said.
This aroused suspicion and the police searched the house thoroughly and found the body of the minor in a sewage tank, Additional Commissioner (Modi Nagar circle) Gyan Prakash Rai said.
When police questioned the victim’s family members, his stepmother Rekha confessed that she had killed Shabad with the help of her friend Poonam, he said.
Rekha told police that it was a premeditated murder and that she committed the crime when Shabad returned home after playing outside. Rahul Sen’s second wife Rekha also told police that she hated her stepson, they said, adding that Sen runs a salon and had divorced his first wife three years ago.
Rekha concocted a story about kidnapping her stepson in the presence of her husband and in-laws, police said.
ACP Rai said Rekha and her friend Poonam, who helped her kill Shabad, have been sent to jail this evening.
