Shocking Murder Conspiracy Unfolds in Bareilly
A disturbing incident from Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly has sent shockwaves across the region. A woman, along with her five brothers, allegedly masterminded a brutal plot to murder her own husband. The chilling plan was foiled only because of the timely arrival of a stranger, who intervened and saved the victim’s life.
The victim, Rajiv, works as a personal assistant to a doctor at a local hospital. Married since 2009 to his wife Sadhana, the couple has two sons aged 14 and 8. What started as a seemingly ordinary marriage took a dark turn when Rajiv became the target of a deadly conspiracy by his own family members.
Attack Planned with Precision
According to police reports, the attack occurred on the night of July 21 under the jurisdiction of Izzatnagar police station. Sadhana allegedly enlisted the help of her brothers — identified as Bhagwan Das, Premraj, Harish, and Laxman — to eliminate Rajiv.
The brothers allegedly hired a group of goons to carry out the assault. A total of 11 people stormed Rajiv’s rented home, brutally beating him. The attackers broke one of his arms and both legs, rendering him unable to move or defend himself.
Dragged to Forest, Pit Dug to Bury Alive
The attackers didn’t stop at the physical assault. After severely injuring Rajiv, they allegedly took him to a forest in the CB Ganj area. There, they dug a pit, intending to bury him alive.
However, fate had other plans. A passerby — whose identity has not been disclosed — arrived at the scene at the crucial moment. The sudden presence of the stranger forced the attackers to abandon their plan and flee, leaving Rajiv in critical condition.
Victim Rescued and Hospitalized
Unable to move due to multiple fractures, Rajiv lay in agony in the forest until the passerby rushed him to a private hospital. Doctors managed to stabilize his condition, and he is currently undergoing treatment.
Rajiv’s father, Netram, later filed a complaint against Sadhana and her brothers, accusing them of attempted murder. He has demanded their immediate arrest and strict legal action.
Background of the Victim and Family
Rajiv has been employed for years as a personal assistant to a doctor in Bareilly. Despite owning a house in his native village, the family had been living in rented accommodation in the city. According to Netram, this arrangement was due to Sadhana’s unwillingness to live in the village.
The couple’s two sons, aged 14 and 8, are enrolled in a private school. The motive behind the murder plot is still under investigation, but initial inquiries suggest domestic disputes may have played a role.
Police Investigation Underway
The police have registered a case of attempt to murder and other relevant charges. Authorities are now tracking the whereabouts of Sadhana, her brothers, and the hired attackers.
Law enforcement officials have also praised the role of the unidentified passerby, whose brave intervention likely prevented Rajiv’s death. Without the stranger’s arrival, the attackers might have successfully buried Rajiv alive, leaving no trace of the crime.
Community Shock and Outrage
The shocking details of this case have left the Bareilly community stunned. Locals expressed disbelief over the brutality of the attack, especially given the involvement of close family members in the plot. Social media discussions around the case have called for swift justice and harsher penalties for such crimes.
A Wake-Up Call on Domestic Violence
This incident is a grim reminder that domestic violence and family disputes can escalate to extreme levels if left unchecked. Experts stress the need for early intervention, counseling, and legal support in troubled marriages to prevent such tragedies.
Authorities are urging the public to report suspicious or violent behavior in households to prevent potential crimes.
The Bareilly murder plot case highlights both the depths of human cruelty and the power of timely intervention. Rajiv’s survival is owed to the courage of a stranger who chose to step in rather than walk away.
As the investigation continues, the people of Bareilly — and the nation — await justice for Rajiv and hope this case serves as a deterrent for others who might contemplate such heinous acts.
