Man from Amritsar arrested for murder, robbery

Saturday, 02 November 2019 | PNS | Dehradun

In the case of a 65-year old woman Gulshan Chaddha found unconscious in her home by her husband after which she died in the hospital on Thursday evening, Dehradun police have arrested a man from Amritsar.

The accused is reportedly a family friend of the deceased and was under a debt of about Rs 2 lakh.

The accused has been identified as Kulwinder alias Karan Singh, native of Amritsar in Punjab. Police have also recovered almost all the jewellery and cash that was looted from the house.  

According to the information provided by the police, after receiving information about the case police took statement from the neighbours in Doon Vihar Colony.

It was found that a delivery boy was seen at the doorstep of the Chaddha house in the afternoon. On the basis of this, police identified the delivery boy, who stated that he saw a bearded man inside the house speaking in a friendly way with Gulshan.

On the basis of his statement and the verbal identification details he provided about the man, police asked the family about any such man in their knowledge.

The victim’s family then identified him as Kulwinder who had done catering in their son’s marriage two months ago and lived in a rented house at Doon Vihar.

He was not found at his residence and his mobile phone was switched off. His landlord said he went to Armitsar, after which a police team went to Amritsar and arrested him.

During interrogation Kulwinder said he had an affair with Sumit Kaur alias Puja, whose mother introduced him to Neera Bedi. He and Neera Bedi started catering business with the name Sardarji ki Rasoi, but due to the excessive interference from Neera’s side he decided to start his own business.

However, after that Neera started pressurising him for returning Rs 1.5 lakh that he had earlier taken from her. Due to poor business and increasing debts, his financial situation kept deteriorating.

About two months ago, he came in contact with Pravesh Chaddha and did catering in the marriage of their son. After that he became a regular visitor to their home.

However, one day he saw jewellery kept on their bed and became greedy. He already knew that Pravesh Chaddha used to work at a hotel and both his son and his daughter in-law work in different banks.

He then planned to loot their home and clear his debts. On Thursday, he went to their home as planned and told Gulshan that he is going to Haryana, after which she invited him to drink tea with her. When she went to another room he quickly started gathering things in his bag, but suddenly she came back and started opposing, so he pushed her back and she fell on the floor and lost consciousness.

After that he ran away to Amritsar.
