Man killed by lover's parents in Delhi

Victim had eloped to Delhi with their daughter

A man from Rajasthan who eloped with a woman and brought her to his cousin’s house in Delhi was killed by her parents.

The body of Vishal Tailor, 25, a resident of Gurera village in Rajasthan’s Sikar district, was found on the railway tracks near Ghaziabad’s Vijay Nagar on Saturday, the police said.

Ghaziabad police registered a ‘zero FIR’ and handed over the body to the officials from west Delhi’s Uttam Nagar police station. Delhi Police have registered an FIR for abduction, murder and concealment of evidence and are trying to trace the accused.

According to the police, Tailor had eloped with a girl from his village and brought her to his cousin sister’s house in west Delhi’s Rama Vihar on May 29. There, his uncle Suresh Kumar informed the woman’s father Mukesh Joshi that the couple was there.

The next day Joshi, along with his uncle and son, reached the house. “They tried a lot to persuade the couple, and took the couple out saying that they wanted to talk to them in private,” an officer said.

They then put the couple in a car and drove away, the police said. Suresh Kumar tried calling Joshi a number of times but he didn’t take the call. On June 4, Joshi switched off his phone, and the next day Suresh Kumar reported the matter to the police.

Meanwhile, on the same day, Suresh received a call from Ghaziabad’s Crossing Chowki police booth, informing him that the Vishal’s body has been found.  Suresh Kumar and his family members reached Ghaziabad and identified the body.

On their complaint, Ghaziabad police registered a ‘zero FIR’ and then transferred the case to the Delhi Police. The police is planning to send a team to Rajasthan to track the accused. They are also taking the help of the Rajasthan Police in the case.
