A calculated murder in Ghaziabad's Loni locality has been solved in record time, exposing a conspiracy hatched by two sisters to kill a man the elder of them had been in a live-in relationship with. Kiran, 32, and her younger sister Kashish, 21, allegedly killed a young man named Zakir and then carefully staged the scene to make the death appear to be a suicide. The Tronika City police station cracked the case within 12 hours and arrested both women. The weapons used in the crime, a stick and a gamcha, were recovered from the accused.
Months of Suspicion Behind the Plan
Kiran, originally from Bulandshahr, had been living with Zakir in Puja Colony for the past 8 to 9 months, along with her 13-year-old daughter and two sons. During questioning, Kiran told police that for the past two months she had been growing increasingly suspicious that Zakir was looking at her minor daughter with ill intent. Driven by fear for her daughter's safety, Kiran decided that Zakir had to be removed permanently. She called her younger sister Kashish from Bulandshahr, and together the two planned out the murder.
The Killing on June 23
On June 23, the sisters put their plan into action. They booked an Ola cab using Zakir's own phone and sent the children outside the house on a pretext. Once Zakir was alone indoors, Kiran struck him on the head with a stick, knocking him unconscious. Both sisters then strangled him with a gamcha, completing the murder. The moment Zakir was dead, the two moved quickly to erase any trace of what they had done.
A Staged Suicide Scene
To make the death look like a suicide by hanging, the sisters hid the stick behind the water storage tank on the roof. The gamcha was tied to the ceiling fan and the fan blades were deliberately bent to suggest someone had used it to hang themselves. Kiran then raised the alarm herself, calling Zakir's brother Sameer Khan alias Nasir and informing him that Zakir had taken his own life. She even took Zakir's body to the hospital to cement the suicide story and deflect any suspicion.
Police Crack the Case in 12 Hours
The deceased's brother filed a written complaint with police, after which a case was registered under the relevant sections of the BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita). The Tronika City police launched an investigation, combining leads from CCTV camera footage, surveillance monitoring and manual intelligence gathering on the ground. Within 12 hours, the full picture had emerged, both sisters were arrested, and the murder weapons were recovered from their possession. Police are now proceeding with further legal action in the case.
