Chhattisgarh: Mukhtar Ansari killed a woman and her two minor children in Balrampur, skeletons found two months later, arrested

Op India  

On Friday, 3 skeletons were found in the Dahejwar village in Balrampur, Chhattisgarh. Reports say that accused Mukhtar’s elder brother Arif Ansari was in a relationship with the minor girl and was thus not sending money to his family. Speaking about the matter, Balrampur SP Vaibhav Banker said that the accused Mukhtar Ansari, originally from Jharkhand, was arrested by the police and presented before the court. Meanwhile, Balrampur Police has also been accused of negligence, as although a missing persons case was registered, they allegedly refused to register a criminal case back in September even as Surajdev Thakur suspected that Arif may have kidnapped Thakur’s family. The police said that an investigation is underway to find out if the victims came to Balrampur only at the behest of the main accused Mukhtar Ansari or if his brother Arif Ansari was also involved in the crime.
