Gurugram, July 15

With the arrest of four persons, the Nuh police today claimed to have busted a gang of criminals who would abduct women, rape them and dump their mutilated bodies in water channels.

Those arrested were identified as Devender (alias Bablu), Manjeet, Nasir and Rinku (alias Rishabh). The accused have so far confessed to two cases of rape and murder—one in 2018 and another in 2020. The police, however, suspect they might be involved in over 10 such crimes that took place between Nuh and Bhiwadi (Rajasthan). “The accused are being interrogated and we hope to crack many more cases soon,” said Nuh SP Narendra Bijarniya.

The gang was also involved in highway robberies and was caught while planning one.

The accused told the police that they were heading towards Bhiwadi with the intention of committing a highway robbery in April 2018, when they saw a woman alone. They abducted the woman, took her to Uthon village and raped her. Then they killed her and dumped the body in Bibipur water channel after mutilating the face.

“In July 2020, they abducted, raped and murdered a woman who was on way to her in-laws’ house at Garhi Hodal village. To minimise the chances of their arrest, the accused would never repeat such a crime in the same area or dump the body in the same water channel,” the police said.
