Moradabad woman murdered to hide ‘affair'; key accused, 3 more held

Hindustan Times15-06-2025
Four people have been arrested for the murder of a 29-year-old woman who went missing on May 20 in Moradabad, police said. One of the four men, Kehar Singh, is also the key accused who allegedly poisoned the woman, and was helped by a pharmacy operator, a college clerk and a medicine representative (MR) in executing and covering up the murder, the district police claimed.
Kiran, whose remains were recovered from a river on Thursday, was pursuing Basic Training Certificate (BTC) or teacher training from RSD Academy in Ramganga Vihar of Moradabad. Her father had filed a missing person's report on May 20 as she didn't return home and, later, accused Kehar Singh, who hails from Jankapur, of abducting her.
During his police interrogation, Kehar reportedly confessed to murdering Kiran after his wife found out about Kiran, with whom he allegedly had an extramarital affair. On May 20, he met her in his house in Milan Vihar, where she was fed a poisonous substance, the police said.
The body was then taken back to Kehar's house. To dispose of it, Kehar sought help from his brother-in-law Taresh in Amroha. Taresh arrived with his nephew Manish and a car. Together, the accused took Kiran's body to Nanhera in the Chhajlait area and dumped it into a river.
Superintendent of police (SP) Rural Kunwar Akash Singh confirmed the arrests of Kehar Singh, Pramod Kumar, Jagdish, and Vishesh Pal. All four were presented in court on Friday, which sent them to jail. Meanwhile, police conducted raids to locate Taresh and Manish.
The SP said the case was under further investigation, and teams were actively searching for the remaining accused.

Athletes get reduced 3-yr ban for evading dope tests

New Delhi: The four-year bans on track and field athletes Pooja Rani, Kiran, Pankaj and Chelimi Pratyusha for evading dope tests has been reduced by one year after they accepted their offence within 20 days of being charged. The quartet was among several athletes who were suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) earlier this year under Article 2.3 of the anti-doping rules, which deals with 'evading, refusing or failing to submit to sample collection by an athlete' without compelling justification. The maximum ban period for a first offence is four years but Article 10.8 of the NADA Rules provides for 'results management agreements' under which athletes can get reduced punishment based on early admission and acceptance of sanction. Article 10.8.1 allows athletes charged with a four-year ban to benefit from a one year reduction if they admit the violation and accept the penalty within 20 days of being charged.
