Disturbing new details have emerged in the murder case of Deepak Kumar, a railway employee, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances in Bijnor a few days ago. According to the latest revelations from the police investigation, Deepak was allegedly murdered by his wife, Shivani — a claim that has shocked the local community due to the bizarre and tragic circumstances.
Police reports state that Shivani strangled her husband to death — an act made even more surprising by the fact that her right hand was fractured at the time. Investigators believe that she used her left hand to carry out the murder. This revelation has left both authorities and the public stunned.
According to the investigation, Deepak had grown increasingly suspicious of Shivani in recent months. Their marriage had been marred by frequent arguments, particularly after Shivani expressed her unwillingness to stay with Deepak's family in their village. She preferred to live independently in Najibabad city. Tensions escalated when Deepak insisted on her staying in the village, which reportedly intensified Shivani’s resentment — especially as she also alleged physical abuse.
The police have reconstructed the sequence of events leading up to Deepak’s death. They allege that Shivani first drugged her husband by mixing sedatives into his food. Once Deepak lost consciousness, she used her left hand to strangle him. Shivani initially claimed that Deepak had died of a heart attack. However, the autopsy contradicted her statement, confirming death by asphyxiation due to strangulation.
As part of the investigation, authorities recovered a video recording in which a heated altercation between Deepak and Shivani can be clearly heard. Significantly, the distressing cries of their young child are also audible in the background. Investigators believe this video offers vital insight into the nature of their relationship in the days leading up to the murder.
During a crime scene recreation, the police confirmed that due to her fractured right hand, Shivani was only capable of using her left — aligning with the medical findings.
Deepak Kumar’s family has approached the office of the Superintendent of Police, demanding a comprehensive investigation. They have raised doubts about Shivani acting alone in the crime and suspect possible involvement of an accomplice. The family also alleges that the motive behind the murder was financial — a bid to claim Deepak’s job and monetary benefits.
As the investigation continues, police officials say that more details are likely to emerge, and further actions may follow based on new findings.
