Victim Lured and Shot in a Field
On March 19, Sahar SHO Pankaj Mishra said police received a report about a man found grievously injured in a field. Dileep was first taken to the Bidhuna Community Health Centre, and later shifted to hospitals in Saifai, Gwalior, Agra, and finally Auraiya, where he passed away.
Dileep, a hydra driver by profession, had married Pragati on March 5, 2025. However, police investigations found that Pragati was unwilling in the marriage and maintained a romantic relationship with Anurag Yadav from her village. Displeased with her marital life, she allegedly planned Dileep’s murder to be with Anurag and live off Dileep’s supposed wealth.
Murder Planned, Contract Killer Hired
Pragati allegedly convinced Anurag that if Dileep was eliminated, they could lead a better life together. With help from Anurag and his associate Bablu alias Manoj, the trio hired contract killer Ramji Chaudhary. On March 19, Ramji lured Dileep to a field and shot him, assuming he had died.
Arrests Made, Investigation Ongoing
Superintendent of Police Abhijeet R Shankar confirmed the arrests of all three accused. CCTV footage played a key role in identifying them. The police first arrested Ramji Chaudhary, recovering a pistol and two live cartridges from his possession. Subsequently, Anurag Yadav and Pragati Yadav were also arrested.
The case is under further investigation, with police looking into all angles surrounding the conspiracy.
