RAJKOT: A 28-year-old UP man’s bid to usurp his ancestral property by faking his own murder and putting the blame on his father and three brothers was foiled by the Kutch police, thanks to a viral video on social media.
The Mundra marine police in Kutch on Saturday arrested Ramkaran Chauhan from Bhadreshwar and handed him over to the UP police. Chauhan had been living incognito since 2020 in different parts of the country.
According to Nirmalsinh Jadeja, police sub-inspector of Mundra marine police station, Chauhan and his wife Gudiya had planned the fake murder to eliminate his parents and siblings and get control over their ancestral property.
Jadeja told TOI, “Chauhan is a native of Gond district of UP. He lived with his father and three brothers. He and his wife were thrown out of the house following a dispute over property. To take revenge on his brothers and father, Chauhan and his wife planned his own fake murder.”
In 2020, Chauhan left his wife at her parents’ house and left UP. He lived in different parts of the country concealing his identity.
UP man’s video on social media blew his cover
In 2020, Ramkaran Chauhan left UP and lived all over the country concealing his identity while, his wife Gudiya filed a complaint with the Gond police alleging that her father-in-law and brothers-in-law murdered her husband.
However, the police refused to file an FIR in absence of a body.
Gudiya, later approached the court, which ordered FIR against her father-in-law Nanke Chauhan, and brothers-in-law – Arjun, Shyamlal and Ajaram – for murder and under other sections of the Indian Penal Code. Gond police suspected Gudiya’s story from the beginning, said Jadeja. “While the cops were looking for Chauhan’s body, one his brothers spotted him in a video on social media.”
The video was from Chhath Puja ceremony in November where Chauhan could be seen dancing. Police showed that video to Gudiya who said that the person in the video was not her husband. The UP cyber crime sleuths concluded that the video was from Kutch. They contacted their counterparts in Kutch for support.
At the same time, police came to know that Chauhan had applied for an address change in his Aadhaar about five months ago. He had sought to change his Aadhaar address from Gond in UP to Bhadreshwar in Kutch. This further proved that Chauhan was hiding in Kutch, said the police.
They added that as Chauhan kept on changing his phone and sim card, he could not be traced. Eventually, Bhuj cyber crime police with the help of Mundra marine police traced Chauhan to Nilkanth Steel where he used to work and nabbed him.
