Arun murdered his wife Tannu and buried her body outside his house in Faridabad. In a shocking incident, a woman’s body was discovered buried in front of her residence, allegedly killed by her in-laws who concealed the crime for nearly two months by filing a missing person report. The victim, Tannu Kumar from Shikohabad in Firozabad district, Uttar Pradesh, was married to Arun Singh from Roshan Nagar two years ago.The victim’s father, Hakim, claimed that despite his suspicions about a freshly covered pit observed during his visit to his brother-in-law’s residence, the police initially dismissed his concerns. Four family members have been charged at Palla Police Station: Bhoop Singh (from UP’s Mainpuri), his wife Sonia, son Arun Singh, and daughter Kajal. Sources indicate that Bhoop Singh and Arun Singh are currently under police interrogation.Police investigations reveal that on April 23, Arun Singh and his father arranged for an earthmover to dig a 10-foot deep pit outside their house. The following day, they had a mason fill it. Subsequently, they reported Tannu as missing, describing her as mentally challenged. Hakim stated that his daughter endured dowry-related harassment, forcing her to stay at her parents’ home for a year post-marriage. Despite a panchayat’s intervention facilitating her return to Faridabad, the issues persisted.Upon learning of his daughter’s disappearance, Hakim visited Bhoop Singh’s residence with his other daughter, Preeti, where he noticed the suspicious pit. Despite multiple visits to the local police station, his pleas for investigation were ignored until recently. The authorities excavated the pit on Friday morning in the presence of Naib Tehsildar Jaswant Singh, recovering Tannu’s remains. A Faridabad Police spokesperson confirmed ongoing raids to apprehend the remaining family members. Following a post-mortem at Badshah Khan Civil Hospital, the body was released to the family.
