Samaypur Badli Quadruple Murder: Accused Husband On The Run

NEW DELHI — The horrifying crime was discovered around 8:00 AM on Wednesday when Kewat’s 10-year-old nephew went to the house to accompany his uncle to the mandi. Finding the door unlocked and a curtain raised, the boy entered to find his aunt, Anita, and his three cousins lying in a pool of blood.

1. The Crime Scene: “Extreme Brutality”

Police describe the scene in the single-room ground-floor unit as “extremely gory.”

• The Victims: Anita (who was two months pregnant) and her three daughters—aged 3, 4, and 5—all had their throats slit with a sharp-edged weapon. The injuries were deep enough to sever their windpipes.
• Suspected Sedation: Investigators found no signs of a struggle, leading to the theory that the victims were intoxicated or sedated before the attack. Forensic teams have collected food leftovers, including kheer and ladoo, to test for poisonous substances.

2. The Investigation: Multiple Motives Probed

While the search for Kewat continues, the Delhi Police are looking into several potential triggers:

• Preference for a Son: Relatives and preliminary police inquiries suggest Kewat may have been frustrated by having three daughters and his wife’s current pregnancy.
• Domestic Discord: While some relatives described the couple as “peaceful,” neighbors reported a loud verbal spat between the couple around 9:00 PM on Tuesday night.
• Financial Strain: Neighbors alleged that Kewat had recently been beating his wife and providing very little money for household expenses.

3. The Escape

CCTV footage has been a crucial lead for the Outer North Delhi police:

• Final Sighting: Kewat was captured on camera running from the street at approximately 5:00 AM on Wednesday.
• Digital Trail: His mobile phone was last active in the Jahangirpuri area before being switched off.
• Native Links: Teams have been dispatched to Patna, Bihar, Kewat’s native district, as well as Chennai, where he previously worked.
