Life convict who killed his girlfriend while out on Covid parole held in Delhi after 3 years

Deepak was released on parole in August 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Special CP (Crime) Ravindra Yadav said that after being released from jail, Deepak came to know that his girlfriend, with whom he had hatched the plan to kidnap the boy, had betrayed him and married someone else.

“He decided to kill her and called her to an Oyo Hotel in Sultanpuri and brutally stabbed her on the throat, before fleeing the spot,” the officer said.

After three years, Deepak was eventually traced to Mangolpuri from where he was nabbed. “During interrogation, Deepak revealed that he disguised himself and lived in five different states, including Bihar and Assam,” said Yadav.

The police in the 2010 murder case Deepak and his aides kidnapped the boy to Gharaunda in Karnal, Haryana. “When their demands were not fulfilled by the doctor, Deepak and his accomplices brutally murdered the boy and threw away his body in Karnal. He was subsequently convicted by a trial court and awarded a rigorous imprisonment for life and a fine along with other accused persons,” said a police officer.
