Gurugram, April 21

A cook at a paying guest accommodation here has been arrested in Kanpur on the charge of brutally thrashing his wife to death.

Not only did he manage to flee Gurugram, but travelled 500 km to reach Kanpur as well. A special police team nabbed the accused, identified as Satanu Mohammad, alias Raj.

The accused claimed that his wife was in constant touch with her first husband, which infuriated him. He reportedly admitted to having thrashed her with a cricket bat and dumping her body in a bed on April 17.

He purportedly confessed that he took lift on a motorcycle to the DLF area and then booked a cab to reach Safdurjung Hospital in Delhi.

He said after some rest, he reached Bhanngel village near Noida, where he took a bicycle on rent and started for his village. He said he reached Bulandshahr on Monday and took a lift in a mini-truck on Tuesday, but the driver drove away after he got down to drink water in Kanpur.

“The accused has three children. He met this woman at Nathupur in 2019. She was already married, but went with him,” said Preet Pal Singh Sangwan, ACP, Crime.
