Agra: A 40-year-old man who had come to his native place in Etah district with his children to celebrate Diwali was found dead in a drain with his throat slit on Tuesday afternoon. Following an investigation, police filed a case against his wife and her lover. The deceased, Ramsevak Singh, was a driver who lived in Delhi’s Model Town area.
Ramsevak had returned to his native village with his children on the morning of Nov 8 to celebrate Diwali. He went missing around 7 pm that evening. Seema and Akash were also in the village. After relatives failed to trace him, Bhoop Singh lodged a missing-person report at Pilua police station the following day. It was identified as that of Ramsevak. Based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s brother, police registered an FIR for murder against Seema and Akash. Seema has been taken into custody for questioning, while police are conducting raids to arrest Akash.
On Tuesday, police received information about a body lying in a drain along the highway between Bhadua and Bhadwas.
Ramsevak met Seema , a native of Begusarai in Bihar, in 2008, according to his brother Bhoop Singh. The two subsequently developed a relationship and got married in a court in Hathras in 2009. Her then husband, Santosh Chaudhary, worked with Ramsevak. Seema had three children from her previous marriage, who stayed with her first husband after their separation. She later had a daughter and a son with Ramsevak. Later, Ramsevak’s relative Akash moved to Delhi from their village and started selling fruits and developed a relationship with Seema. After learning about their affair, Ramsevak left Seema and moved to a shanty in Model Town.
Etah ASP Shwetabh Pandey said, “An FIR has been registered against his wife and her lover on the basis of a complaint by his brother. His wife has been taken into custody for questioning.”
