Man gets life term for murder over monetary dispute
Mukeemuddin, a resident of Ajupura Rani under Nagina Dehat police station limits, lodged a complaint after his younger brother Adil went missing on Sept 9, 2020, according to the prosecution. The 30-year-old had left home for a morning walk towards the fields around 6 am but did not return. When Mukeemuddin called him around 10 am, he said that he would be home within an hour and a half.
On the day of the incident, Anuj allegedly promised to repay the amount and called the victim to the fields. During a search, the victim’s body was found in a sugarcane field, with injury marks on his head. His brother accused Anuj of murdering him over the financial dispute and concealing the body. Police filed a chargesheet against Anuj, who was subsequently convicted.
Later, the victim’s wife and children told Mukeemuddin that he had returned home around 7 am and disclosed that Anuj, a resident of Samaspur Saddo, had taken Rs 2 lakh from him on the pretext of arranging a Rs 40 lakh loan. However, the loan was not sanctioned, and the money was allegedly not returned.
