BIJNOR: Plagued by guilt and remorse over killing his nine-year-old nephew, Sattar Ahmad (30) allegedly ended his life on June 30 by taking poison.
It was while probing the case of the missing boy, whose body was found near a factory on Nauganva Sadat road, that the Amroha police unravelled a saga of betrayal and guilt.
Police learnt that Ahmad, a resident of Moradabad, was filled with rage when he discovered that his wife had allegedly developed a relationship with her brother-in-law, Shakir. In his bid for exacting revenge, he and a relative hatched a plan to kidnap Shakir’s son and kill him.
Giving details, Poonam, Amroha superintendent of police, said, “ On June 28, Shakir filed a complaint that his son, Kamil Ahmed, had gone missing from their house in Kutkae mohalla in Amroha city. The next day, the child’s body was found.”
While investigating the case, police were informed about Ahmad’s suicide. Investigations revealed that Ahmad was seen with his relative, Shanu, of Joe village in Amroha on June 28. Suspecting a connection between the two cases, Shanu was picked up for questioning.
Shanu confessed how they had lured the boy to Naugawan Sadat road and killed him by smashing a brick on his head. Then they dumped the body in a pit on the roadside. But Ahmad could not bear to live with the knowledge of the crime and ended his life, said Shanu, who has been arrested and sent to jail.
