Wife's murder kept in deep freeze for 2 months

DEHRADUN: A software engineer succeeded in keeping under wraps the murder of his wife for two months but the law finally caught up with him on Sunday night. After a spat on the night of October 17, Rajesh Gulati (37) allegedly smothered his 36-year-old wife Anupama Gulati to death in their two-room rented house at Prakash Nagar in Dehradun Cantonment. To cover up the heinous crime, Rajesh bought an electric cutter from the market and chopped off the body into 70 pieces.

Then he bought a deep freezer to stash away body pieces. Police sources said Rajesh also bought a bundle of black polythene carrybags to store the body parts. He had planned to secretly dump them at remote locations on Dehradun-Mussoorie road. When his four-year-old kids — twins Sonakshi and Sidhant — would enquire about their mother, Rajesh would tell them that she was away in Delhi.

The murder came to light on Sunday morning when Anupama's elder brother, SK Pradhan, reached Dehradun and sent a friend to his sister's house with Anupama's passport. Suspecting foul play after they were unable to locate her, he lodged a missing complaint with the police. Acting swiftly, a joint team of Uttarakhand Special Task Force (STF) and Special Operations Group (SOG) conducted a raid at the techie's residence and cracked the case.

Dehradun SSP G S Martolia said the police team recovered severed parts of the body, including Anupama's head, from the deep freezer after sustained interrogation of the accused.

According to SSP Martolia, the culprit was taken to the shops from where he had bought the stone-cutter electric machine, polythene carrybags and deep freezer. He was also taken to spots where he had disposed off body parts. The accused is reported to have confessed to his crime.

Narrating the sequence of events, IG (Garhwal Range) M A Ganpati said that on the night of the incident Rajesh slapped his wife after a domestic quarrel. ''He told us that she fell on the corner of a wall after which she became unconscious. A jittery Rajesh thinking that his wife, after regaining consciousness, would report the matter to the police decided to kill her. And then he throttled her by thrusting cotton into her nose and mouth before using pillow to kill her,'' said Ganpati.

Rajesh was later remanded in a four-day police remand by the court of Dehradun chief judicial magistrate (CJM) Kunwar Amrindra Singh.

hakereh Khaleeli's gruesome murder s

Fourteen years after Shakereh Khaleeli's gruesome murder shook Bangalore, Swami Shraddhananda is sentenced to death for killing his wife. The Khaleeli family hails the verdict.

A +A -
When Swami Shraddhananda was sentenced to death by a Bangalore trial court on May 21, the self-proclaimed godman's supernatural powers proved more than defunct. Nearly 20 years ago, Shakereh Khaleeli had thought otherwise.

So much so that the beautiful grand-daughter of Mirza Ismail, former dewan of the princely state of Mysore, had abandoned her husband and four daughters to marry him. She paid for it when Shraddhananda buried her alive in 1991, rocking Bangalore as much as it did the family.

Sentenced by sessions judge B.S. Thotad for killing Khaleeli, Shraddhananda, alias Murli Manohar Mishra, has also been awarded a five year rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10,000 under Section 201 of the IPC.
Unfazed, the 63-year-old has appealed against the death penalty- subject to confirmation from the Karnataka High Court-on grounds of old age and health problems.

But for Khaleeli's family, justice has been served, even if it has come 11 years too late. "We cannot get our mother back but he has been awarded the death sentence and that is what matters to us," says Sabah, one of Khaleeli's daughters, who is settled in Mumbai. "After 11 years of pain and torture, we can go back to living normal lives," adds Ezmeth, the youngest.

There has been nothing normal about the case, be it the nature of the crime or its progress in court. Among the first to employ DNA technology for evidence, "it was also the first case in India where the exhumation of the body was videographed and the court accepted it as evidence", says H.T. Sangliana, former Bangalore police commissioner and currently a Lok Sabha MP, who helped arrest the fake godman from Madhya Pradesh.

Shraddhananda lured Khaleeli with an eye on her wealth and property worth crores of rupees. While Khaleeli's mother, Taj Namazi, had gifted her property in Bangalore, including a house on Richmond Road, her affluence increased when she married her cousin, Akbar Khaleeli, an Indian diplomat.

In the early 1980s, life seemed to be on a roll with Khaleeli accompanying her husband on his overseas postings along with her four daughters Sabah, Ezmeth, Rehana and Zeebundeh.

Then in 1982 the family came across Shraddhananda at the house of a common friend in Delhi. Working for the friend-who belongs to a former royal family of Uttar Pradesh- Shraddhananda had graduated from being an errand boy to handling tax and property matters.

With his gift of the gab, he influenced the Khaleelis so much that they invited him to their home in Bangalore. "This was a fateful invitation that spelt doom for Khaleeli," says Bangalore Police Commissioner S. Mariswamy.

In helping Khaleeli resolve some property matters, Shraddhananda endeared himself to her to the extent that the two were soon involved in a relationship, with Shraddhananda exploiting Khaleeli's desire to have a son by claiming magical powers. In 1985, Khaleeli divorced her husband.

She married the fake godman the next year. Soon, however, differences cropped up between the two and in 1991 Shraddhananda decided to get rid of his wife. He told his servants that he wanted to keep antiques and ornaments safely and had a wooden casket made.

He also had casual labourers dig a pit in the courtyard, saying it was for a tank. One evening in March 1991, he drugged his wife with sleeping tablets and after she became unconscious, he put her in the casket and buried her alive.


VINDICATED: Sabah (left) and Ezmeth
After Sabah noticed her mother's absence, she confronted Shraddhananda, who said she had gone abroad to have a baby. Unconvinced, she lodged a missing-person complaint on June 10, 1992.
The breakthrough came three years later-after pressure from Khaleeli's former husband and family - when Mahadeva, a detective of the Central Crime Branch, had a servant from the Khaleeli household confess to him in a drunken stupor that he had helped Shraddhananda kill his wife.

On April 30, 1994, the fake swami was taken into custody. Soon, Khaleeli's body was exhumed and videographed.
"In May 1994," says police officer C. Veeraiah, who filed the charges against Shraddhananda, "he was to receive an advance of Rs 2 crore for the mansion where he had buried Shakereh. He had planned to sell it for Rs 6 crore." Shraddhananda had already extracted Rs 30 crore from Khaleeli by then.

While another legal tangle may be awaiting the Khaleeli family in the high court, Sabah says they may not pursue the case "as this is a victory for us". Chennai-based Ezmeth has other things on her mind. "We are keen to send our mother on her last journey in a dignified manner," she says.
So as Khaleeli's killer prepares for an undignified exit from the world, her daughters may finally get around to burying their mother with honour
