Army Major arrested for killing officer’s wife: when she refused, he killed her

The Delhi police have arrested Major Nikhil Handa in the murder case of Army Major’s wife Shailaja Dwivedi.  Major Amit Dwivedi’s wife was found dead on 24 June, Saturday at around 1:30 afternoon with her throat slit and body run over by the killer’s Honda City car on Brar Square, close to Delhi Cantonment metro station.

Initially, the police were informed that a woman had died in an accident. Later, when they inspected the body, it was found that her throat was slit, PTI reported.

“Major Handa had slit her throat inside the car and thrown the body near the metro station. To make the killing look an accident, he crushed her four times from his white Honda City and fled. He went to his house in Saket and tried to wash off the car. He was keeping a tab on the news channels and after the news broke about the recovery of the body, he switched off his cell phone and fled to Meerut,” a senior official close to the investigation said.

The accused was soon arrested from Meerut and brought to Delhi. According to the police, Shailaja was last seen with an unidentified man in a private car.  Later, passersby informed the police about an unidentified woman’s body lying on the road. After the police reached the crime scene, they found that the 30-year-old woman’s throat was slit by a sharp-edged weapon. The cops have also found some evidence in Shailaja’s phone, which points out to some kind of estrangement between her and the murderer.

Shailaja dropped at the Army Base Hospital for a physiotherapy session   

According to reports, Shailaja was dropped at the Army Base Hospital in Delhi Cantonment in her husband’s official vehicle by a driver. The deceased had left home in the morning for a physiotherapy session. However, when the driver went to pick her up, he was told that the major’s wife didn’t come for a physiotherapy session.

Shailaja, who was last seen in Major Nikhil’s car, met him on Saturday at the base hospital where the victim had come for physiotherapy and accused had come to visit his son. In the car, the two had a heated argument after which the accused took his knife and slit her throat and threw her on the street. He then ran her over to disguise the murder as an accident, Police said.

After Nikhil killed Shailaja, he returned to the hospital and then went home (in Saket, Delhi) where he saw the news about Shailaja’s murder on TV. Later, Nikhil drove to the hospital again to review the situation after which he left for Meerut where he was posted for three years. His plan was to hide there until the situation had cooled down.

“After switching off the mobile, he used WhatsApp calling. He was tracked by the team and it was learned that he was moving towards Meerut. The Army base was his hide-out as he was posted there for three years. He was arrested from there,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Vijay Kumar.

Major Nikhil Handa was ‘obsessed’, wanted to marry Shailaja

Shailaja’s husband Major Amit Dwivedi is posted in Dimapur, Nagaland. The two got married in 2009 and have a six-year-old son.  Major Handa and Shailaja Dwivedi met in 2015 in Nagaland they became friends.Army Major arrested for killing officer’s wife: when she refused, he killed her

Major Nikhil was “obsessed” with his colleague’s wife and wanted to marry Shailaja. When she refused, he killed her, the Delhi Police revealed today. He (Nikhil) kept insisting on tying the knot despite her showing no interest in marriage, the police said. The police on Sunday said that Nikhil Handa’s call records showed that he had rung Shailaja many times, but when they tried looking for him after the crime was committed, he was absconding. Shailaja’s husband Amit Dwivedi had caught the two on a video call and was against their relationship and didn’t want the two to have any kind of contact with each other, the police further said.

“Major Amit Dwivedi was aware of their affair and had warned the duo to end the relationship. Shailza tried to call off the relationship after she was caught doing obscene video calling. She then stopped talking to him and shifted to Delhi with her husband,” an official close to the investigation said.

Nikhil, who was also posted in Dimapur in Nagaland, had gotten his son admitted to the Army Base Hospital in Delhi cantonment so that he could meet Shailaja.  After shifting to Delhi, Shailaja started visiting the hospital in Delhi Cantonment. He also brought his son along for the treatment in the hospital.

Major Amit Dwivedi raised his suspicion on Handa

During the investigation, the police found evidence in Shailaja’s phone, which pointed out to some kind of estrangement between her and Nikhil Handa.

After Nikhil switched off his phone and went absconding after killing Shailaja, his Honda City car was spotted in Meerut at a toll booth. Delhi Police dispatched a team to arrest Nikhil who was then brought to Delhi. Major Handa had two knives out of which one has been recovered. His car has also been confiscated.

Shailaja was a Mrs. India Earth finalist. “She had an extramarital affair with Major Nikhil Handa. Both her husband and lover were posted in Nagaland’s Dimapur city but, two months ago, Major Amit Dwivedi got transferred to Delhi,” police said.

JMM-RJD-Congress are supporters of Bangladesh infiltrators: PM Modi at Jharkhand rally

Narendra Modi further claimed that if the bad policies of JMM, Congress and RJD continue, the adivasi society in Jharkhand will shrink

JMM-RJD-Congress are supporters of Bangladesh infiltrators: PM Modi at Jharkhand rally

Ahead of the Jharkhand Assembly election, PM Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the incumbent Hemant Soren government, accusing it to put appeasement at the top of its agenda.

While addressing a rally in Jharkhand’s Garhwa, the Prime Minister said the coalition government of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress and RJD are supporters of Bangladesh infiltrators. He said that the JMM-RJD-Congress government has taken appeasement to its peak, and that these parties are destroying the state’s social harmony. He alleged that the parties are supporters of infiltrators, and to get votes of Bangladesh infiltrators, they are getting them settled across Jharkhand.

The Prime Minister stated that when schools disallow Saraswati Vandana, one can imagine how big the danger is. When there is stone-pelting during festivals, Maa Durga is stopped and curfew is imposed, one knows how dangerous it is, he continued. The Prime Minister also added that when the issue of infiltration goes to court and the administration denies, it becomes clear that the government machinery has been infiltrated. PM Modi was referring to allegations that a Muslim teacher stopped prayers to Goddess Saraswati at a school in Jharkhand’s Giridih.

Narendra Modi further claimed that if the bad policies of JMM, Congress and RJD continue, the adivasi society in Jharkhand will shrink, and advised people to use their vote to uproot this infiltrator coalition. He maintained that Jharkhand’s swift development is possible only if it has a government that expedites the implementation of central schemes.

Referring to the JMM’s decision to replace Champai Soren as Chief Minister after Hemant Soren was granted bail in a money laundering case, PM Modi said that the party has left no stones unturned in humiliating an adivasi son. He asked how the party will take care of the people of the state when nothing matters to them more than family. He added that he does not have a family, and the people are his family. He also mentioned that Champai Soren, once a trusted lieutenant of Hemant Soren, is now with the BJP.

Slamming the ruling coalition of corruption, he said that corruption hollows out the country like termites, and destroys the poor, Dalits, people from backward classes and tribals. He claimed that Jharkhand has seen for five years the corruption of the JMM-Congress-RJD government.

He also referred to the massive cash haul from the home of Congress’s former Rajya Sabha MP Dhiraj Sahu last year. Mentioning that mountains of cash are recovered from the home of Congress’s Rajya Sabha MP, he questioned if this money didn’t belong to Jharkhand.

Ruckus in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly over resolution against Article 370 abrogation

Ruckus in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly over resolution against Article 370 abrogation

Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Monday witnessed chaos after People’s Democratic Party (PDP) MLA Waheed Para moved a resolution opposing the abrogation of Article 370 and called for restoring the union territory’s special status.

Waheed Para, the PDP MLA from the Pulwama Assembly seat, submitted the resolution to newly elected Speaker, Abdul Rahim Rather and requested for a discussion on the matter during the five-day session, despite not being a part of the agenda.

It was submitted that although the agenda of the House has been finalised, they believe that the authority as the Speaker allows the inclusion of the resolution, as it reflects the sentiment of the people at large. After the resolution was submitted, all 28 Jammu and Kashmir BJP MLAs stood up to oppose the move, leading to noisy scenes inside the Assembly.

As the members protested, BJP MLA Sham Lal Sharma demanded Para’s suspension for bringing the resolution in violation of Assembly rules. The agitation continued even after the Speaker repeatedly requested the protesting members to take their seats. He asserted the resolution has not come to him yet and when it does, he would examine it.

While the BJP members refused to call off their protest, National Conference MLAs slammed them for interrupting the proceedings of the House. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah addressing the session, said that the resolution has no importance and it is only for the cameras.

The Chief Minister added that how the House will reflect and discuss this matter will not be decided by any one member. If there was a purpose behind the resolution, then they would have discussed this with the government before, he continued.

Nonetheless, CM Abdullah also admitted that the people of Jammu and Kashmir do not approve of the decision taken on August 5, 2019, when Article 370 was abrogated. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha also said that his government will make all efforts for the restoration of full statehood. He mentioned that restoration of full statehood would be a reciprocation of the faith reposed by the people of Jammu and Kashmir in democratic institutions.

Meanwhile, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti expressed that she was proud of Waheed Para for submitting the resolution.

Notably, Article 370 was a provision in the Constitution that granted special autonomy to the region of Jammu and Kashmir. It also allowed the state to have its own constitution, flag, and autonomy over internal matters except defense, communications, and foreign affairs.

However, the Centre on August 5, 2019 revoked Article 370, effectively removing the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and reorganising it into two Union Territories namely, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
