Case Summary

On December 2, 2024, the body of Vijay Kumar, a young Hindu man, was found near a Sulabh toilet in Faridabad, Haryana. Police investigations revealed that he was murdered by his wife, Rekha, and her Muslim lover, Abdullah. Both suspects are at large, and police are searching for them. Vijay lived with Rekha and their three daughters in the Shivaji Park area of Faridabad. Rekha and Abdullah developed a relationship during his visits to their home. Despite Vijay confronting Rekha multiple times and asking her to end the affair, she continued meeting Abdullah secretly. A few days before the murder, Vijay reportedly caught them in a compromising position, leading to a heated argument. On November 1, Rekha and Abdullah suffocated Vijay to death using a pillow after beating him. Vijay's 9-year-old daughter, Sonam, witnessed the incident but was sent to another room by her mother. The suspects disposed of Vijay's body near a Sulabh toilet and fled the scene. The crime came to light after Sonam disclosed details to the police. Vijay's brother, Balveer, lodged a complaint against Rekha and Abdullah, accusing Rekha of committing the murder for Vijay’s Rs. 25 lakh insurance money. He requested that Vijay’s three daughters be placed under the care of the Child Welfare Committee, citing his inability to care for them. The police registered a case under relevant sections of the law.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

In this case, there is a suspicion that the woman may have been brainwashed by the Muslim co-accused into murdering the Hindu husband. However, it is true that the Hindu woman is an accused in the case and she was a co-participant in the murder of her husband. Further, the woman was an adult and was in a consensual illicit relationship with the Muslim man, who then, together, murdered the Hindu husband. While several have raised suspicions of brainwashing, from the facts that have emerged so far, the religious motivation of the murder seems to be missing. Also, there is no evidence so far to suggest that the Hindu woman was brainwashed. For that reason, this case is being added to the undecided database. If more information emerges, it would be added to the hate crime database.
