During the interrogation, the main suspect, Panchdev Thakur, revealed that the deceased was his brother-in-law. The victim had an illicit relationship with his wife. Upon finding this out, he hatched a plan with his wife to eliminate the victim, he said.

“Panchdev Thakur revealed that as per the plan, on August 14, he and his wife Indu called his brother-in-law Ramparichan Sharma to their house. After Ramparichan slept, the main accused and his wife strangled him to death with an electric wire. After the murder, they hid the body at their house. On August 15, after putting the body in a drum, Panchdev and his friend Chandan Thakur threw it in the drain. We are questioning the suspect,” said Manesar ACP Vipin Ahalawat.
