Couple arrested for murder, faking husband's death for Rs2cr insurance
Lucknow: In a sensational twist to the discovery of a charred body inside a burned car in Chitrakoot district, police arrested a couple for allegedly staging a murder to fake the husband's death and claim a Rs 2 crore life insurance payout. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now DGP Rajeev Krishna has ordered swift action in the case. The arrest of Sunil Singh (39) and his wife Hema Singh (35), both residents of Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, by Chitrakoot police exposed a shocking case of pre-planned insurance fraud, identity manipulation, and cold-blooded murder. The couple was apprehended near Anandpur Ragouli village in Kotwali Karwi on July 7, based on a tip-off received by the district's Special Operations Group (SOG). On June 30, a burnt Alto K10 with a Madhya Pradesh registration was found on the roadside near Sikri Aman village under Rajapur police station. Inside it was an unrecognizable charred corpse. The initial investigation could not confirm the identity. The car was traced back to Sagmendra Singh, brother-in-law of Sunil Singh. The family, including Sagmendra's daughter Hema, suspected that Sunil himself died in the fire. An FIR was registered under BNS sections 103(1) (murder) and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence) against unknown persons. DNA tests were ordered. Meanwhile, suspicion began to grow when Sunil was reportedly spotted alive. Acting on a lead, police intercepted Sunil on July 7. Under interrogation, Sunil admitted the body in the car was not his, but that of Vinay Chauhan, a man he lured into a trap after befriending him at a liquor shop. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Chauhan, a solitary man with no close family, was drugged, burned alive, and left inside Sunil's car. Sunil and Hema then tried to pass the corpse off as Sunil's to fraudulently claim his Rs 2 crore life insurance. Sunil confessed that the idea came from watching crime shows on YouTube and TV, and he believed the murder would go unnoticed if the victim had no relatives. He took a loan to buy a harvester and was under heavy debt, which led to frequent fights with his wife. Desperate to escape the financial burden, he concocted a plan to fake his death and start a new life with insurance money. On June 29, Sunil lured Vinay with food and liquor, drove him to a secluded spot, doused him in camphor and body spray, and set him ablaze using a small gas cylinder inside the car. He watched the vehicle explode from a distance before fleeing to Prayagraj. Hema Singh played a key role in the aftermath — pretending to mourn her husband's death, identifying the body as his, and misleading family and police. The actual victim, Vinay Chauhan, was later identified through inquiry in Nehru Nagar, Rewa, by his brother Vikas Chauhan, who confirmed Vinay had been missing since June 29.
