Crime to be probed under Rarest of Rare Cases

 

 

Crime to be probed under 'rarest of rare' cases

Dehradoon - Denizens of Dehradoon woke up to news of the grisly 
murder of 33-year-old Anupama Gulati by her husband and software 
engineer Rajesh (37) on Monday. Gulati, who allegedly murdered his 
wife, cut the body into pieces and hid it in a deep freezer for 
nearly two months, was sent to four days police remand by a local 
court. 

Police said it would investigate the case under "rare of the rarest 
cases" and take help of forensic experts who were seen busy 
collecting evidence at the couple's home in Prakash Vihar. The 
woman's body had been chopped into 72 pieces with the help of a stone 
cutter after she was strangled on October 17. 

The incident has put a question mark on the safety of women within 
the family, especially as the victim had earlier called a women's 
helpline to seek aid. 

The murder came to light on Sunday when Siddhanta Pradhan, brother of 
the victim, lodged a complaint with the police after he failed to get 
any satisfactory answer from the accused about his sister. 

After the complaint, police arrested Gulati from his rented 
accommodation at Prakash Vihar, Senior Superintendent of Police, 
Dehradoon, GS Martolia said, adding that Gulati confessed to having 
murdered Anupama. 

"We started yelling at each other and we pushed each other. She fell 
and her forehead struck the corner of the bed causing her to lose 
consciousness. I panicked. Already, there was a case of domestic 
violence against me. Mujhe pata nahin uske baad maine kya kiya (I 
don't remember what I did at this point," Gulati said. 

Gulati said he did not inform their four-year-old twins of what had 
transpired even though he would drop them at school and pick up them 
up daily. He later told them that their mother had gone to Delhi. 
They are currently in a state of shock and in the care of their 
maternal uncle. Pradhan said Gulati had been only using SMS and e- 
mail to communicate about his wife which aroused his suspicion. He 
had told Pradhan that their relationship had improved. 

Martolia said Gulati first knocked Anupama's head against a wall 
following a violent quarrel after which she fell unconscious. Later, 
he strangled her in a fit of rage, cut the body into pieces with an 
iron cutter and stashed it in a deep freezer. He kept in touch with 
his in-laws through Anupama's e-mail. He first kept Anupama's remains 
in a deep freezer and once the bleeding stopped, cut them into 
smaller pieces with the help of a stone cutter. Due to this, there 
were no bloodstains in the spot. 

Gulati had visited Kolkata where he had been in touch with a woman. 
He later got married to her which sparked further domestic dispute. A 
suspicious Pradhan landed in Dehradoon on Saturday to enquire about 
his sister. The couple had settled down in Dehradoon 18 months ago. 

He found only the children at home who said she had gone to her 
father's residence. Suspecting foul play, Pradhan called the police. 
Police later arrested Gulati from Rajpur Road. Investigations led to 
the discovery of parts of the woman's torso stuffed in black 
polythene bags inside the freezer. 

The two knew each other since 1992 and were married on February 10, 
1999. They went to the United States in 2000. The twins were born in 
June 2006. In 2008, they returned to Delhi after he was rendered 
unemployed due to recession and shifted to Dehradoon 18 months ago. 
Gulati started working from home as an agent in commodity brokering 
with a US based company.

Off course this case is rarest of rare, 

 

BAR Association of Dehradun has set a good example and has decided that not to take up this case of Rajesh Gulati.

Thank you for the information.

kasab ka case kyon liya?

Bhartiya No. 1 (Nationalist)     15 December 2010

 

Cause is different; this one is more heinous, barbaric than the act of Kasab. 

What when Rakshak will become Bhakshak.

Here the person who has vowed to protect her has killed her brutally.

On the other hand Kasab was a terrorist and had vowed to kill innocent citizens and has done it.

So Kasab is better and more loyal to his duty assigned than this man rather this inhuman being.

He is threat to humanity.  He deserves Capital Punishment (hang till death).

i strongly disagree , both are an eqally lethal threat to humanity.

both are cold blooded murderers.

btw i suspect this man has psychitaric problem as well.

A dacoit kills a person and a bodyguard kills his master.

Are the both killing same? Should there be same punishment?

 

Like this everyone is having psychiatric problems, this is not the excuse. 

Also hardcore criminals and person with criminal mindset are subject of Psychiatry, some mental derangements are there in the brain of the such persons. 

Physiology of Brains are out of the purview of the law.

i m sorry to say , this is again a biased view.
