The police announced on Wednesday that a guy from Delhi had been taken into custody for allegedly killing and burying his two newborn daughters. It is said that Neeraj Solanki was unhappy with the birth of twin daughters and desired a son. Since the alleged murder on June 3, he had been evading capture. His arrest occurred in Haryana.
On May 30, Pooja Solanki, who resides in Sultanpuri, Delhi, with her spouse Neeraj Solanki, gave birth to twin girls in a hospital in Rohtak, Haryana.
In an official statement, the police claimed that “the accused was evading arrest in Delhi and Haryana by changing his locations on a regular basis.” Neeraj Solanki, 32, faces murder charges following his wife’s police complaint.
How Police Probe Began
The police said they began investigating after receiving a call at the Sultanpuri police station on June 3 about the “murder” of the two babies.
The caller said his brother-in-law had killed his 3-day-old twin girls and buried them at a crematorium, the police said.
“After that, police staff was deployed at the cremation ground where the children were buried, and permission was taken from the concerned SDM (Sub Divisional Magistrate) to exhume the corpses. On June 5, the corpses were exhumed and preserved at a mortuary in Mangolpuri. On June 6, we conducted a post-mortem. The bodies were handed over to their maternal uncle,” they said.
How Neeraj Solanki Was Caught
A team of the crime branch was tasked with tracing Neeraj Solanki, a Delhi University graduate who survived on rent from his properties.
The police launched surveillance and also drew inputs from local sources.
The police analyzed call data and noticed that Neeraj Solanki was changing his mobile handset, SIMs and hideouts frequently to dodge the police.
After raids at various places in Delhi and Haryana, Neeraj Solanki was eventually arrested from Sampla in Rohtak.
During interrogation, he confessed to the murders, the police said
