Sitting in Dubai, Man Directs Gang Rape & Murder of Wife by His Brothers

Lucknow: UP police arrested four brothers on charges of gang rape and murder of a woman, who happened to be their sister-in-law, in Uttar Pradesh’s Fatehpur.

The four brothers-in-law of the victim were arrested following a complaint by the victim’s family.

Police investigation hinted that this gruesome crime was committed at the instruction of the husband of the woman, who is presently in Dubai.

The naked body of the victim was found on January 20, inside a water tank at an under-construction building.

The four arrested accused were identified as Rohit Lodhi, Ramchandra alias Puttu, Shivam alias Pancham, and Sonu Lodhi. A fifth accused in the case, Nanku Lodhi, was on the run.

During interrogation, the arrested persons revealed that they gang-raped the woman, who had gone to her parent’s home, on the pretext of taking her to a fair. Later, they crushed her face with bricks to conceal her identity.

They also confessed that they acted as per the instructions of their brother (the woman’s husband), who also offered them cash to commit the crime.

Efforts are on to arrest the man, who masterminded the crime from Dubai as well as the absconding fifth accused. Post-mortem has confirmed that the victim was gang raped and she died of head injuries and excessive bleeding.
